<\/p>\n

Do Lions Live on Lily Pads?<\/a> by Melanie Walsh is a fun exploration of animal houses, while suggesting all kinds of ridiculous habitats like a burrow for a giraffe or a shell for a crocodile! Kids and parents say “No” to each question and then we turn the page and we see who really lives there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mary Murphy’s beautifully-illustrated bedtime book Good Night Like This<\/a> also depicts a variety of animals in their homes, going to sleep in nests, caves, and other dwellings.<\/p>\n

Puppets<\/h2>\n

I started out the storytime with a tortoise puppet and we talked about how he carries his house with him everywhere. <\/p>\n

We told the story of the Three Little Pigs using pig hand puppets. Parents were given scarves to blow. As I blow each piggie’s house down, the pig puppets run into the arms of the children. This doubled as our flannelboard activity for the infants, as I used felt houses and took them down one by one.<\/p>\n

Fleas<\/strong><\/p>\n

On my toe there is a flea
\nNow he\u2019s climbing on my knee
\nPast my tummy, past my nose
\nOn my head where my hair grows
\nOn my head there is a flea
\nNow he\u2019s climbing down on me
\nPast my tummy, past my knee
\nOn my toe\u2026 Take that, you flea!<\/p>\n

Peekaboo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peekaboo, where are you
\nhiding in your… PLACE! PEEKABOO!
\nPeekaboo, I see you
\nand your smiling… FACE! PEEKABOO!<\/p>\n

One Bright Scarf<\/strong><\/p>\n

One bright scarf waiting for the wind to blow
\nToss it up high, and wave it down low
\nWiggle it fast, and wiggle it slow
\n(put scarf over your face) Hey! Where did you go?
\n(uncover and say:) There you are!<\/p>\n

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
\nHow I wonder what you are!
\nUp above the world so high,
\nLike a diamond in the sky.
\nTwinkle, twinkle, little star,
\nHow I wonder what you are! <\/p>\n
