Storytime - Thanksgiving

Books:

All for Pie Pie for All by David Martin - This is a cute story about a grandma cat who makes a pie for Thanksgiving. Everyone in the cat family eats a piece until there's one piece left. Then the Mouse family comes along and eats all but one crumb. Then the Ant family comes along...and you can guess what happens. It's a cute story that's perfect for sharing with either toddlers or preschoolers!

Thanks for Thanksgiving by Julie Markes - This is a sweet, short story about all sorts of things to be thankful for in life. I prefaced the story by teaching the kids the sign for "Thank You" and made the book interactive by asking them to sign and say "thank you" with me on each page.






Songs/Rhymes:

Chicken in the Barnyard

Chicken in the barnyard staying out of trouble (draw a circle on your child's palm)
Along came a turkey and... (walk fingers up child's arm)
Gobble gobble gobble! (tickle all over)

If You're Thankful and You Know It...
(Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It)

If you're thankful and you know it, clap your hands
If you're thankful and you know it, clap your hands
If you're thankful and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're thankful and you know it, clap your hands

...Stomp your feet
...Say, "I am!"
...Do all three
