<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/b><\/p>\nWe danced with all the animals at the farm thanks to a fiddling cow and\u00a0Barnyard Dance\u00a0by Loud Crow Interactive<\/a>,\u00a0 based on the book by Sandra Boynton. (iOS, Android, Nook: $3.99). \u00a0This story is wonderful in both app and book form, so get on your dancing shoes, and join in the fun! \u00a0We tried to see if we could guess who was hiding in the barn based only on animals sounds with Peekaboo Barn\u00a0by Night & Day Studios (iOS, Android, Kindle: $.99)<\/a>. \u00a0While some of the animals living on that farm are unusual, there were some amazing guessers in the group! \u00a0We sang Old MacDonald Had a Farm with the animals we found in the app\u00a0Felt Board\u00a0by Software Smoothie<\/a>\u00a0(iOS: $2.99)\u00a0Finally, we finished things off with the app\u00a0Pass it On! by CJ Educations<\/a>\u00a0based on the book by Marilyn Sadler, illustrated by Michael Black. \u00a0(iOS: $2.99) \u00a0Or rather, we would have, but just like the cow in the story became stuck in the fence, so did our story end up stuck (or frozen) on the projector. \u00a0But that’s ok, because you can always see how the story ends in the book.<\/a><\/p>\n Try these fun rhymes at home\u00a0with your child!<\/p>\n Two Mother Pigs <\/p>\n We also shared the book Book! Book! Book!<\/span> by Deborah Bruss, illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke<\/a>. \u00a0A perfect pick for September – the animals on the farm are bored because the children have gone back to school. \u00a0Will they find some way to stay entertained in the city? \u00a0Find out in this book full of fun animal sounds and puns.<\/p>\n Want some more fun apps to play with? \u00a0Check out our Pinterest pages:<\/p>\n

Movements<\/h2>\n
\n<\/span>2 mother pigs lived in a pen.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Show thumbs)\u00a0<\/em>
\nEach had 4 babies, and that made 10. (Show fingers and thumbs)\u00a0<\/em>
\nThese 4 babies were black as night.\u00a0 (Hold up 1 hand, thumb in palm)\u00a0<\/em>
\nThese 4 babies were black & white. (Hold up other hand, thumb in palm.)\u00a0<\/em>
\nBut all 8 babies loved to play, (hold up 8 fingers, thumbs in.)\u00a0<\/em>
\nAnd they rolled & rolled in the mud all day (roll hands over each other)\u00a0<\/em>
\nAt night with their mother, they curled in a heap (make fist, palms up)\u00a0<\/em>
\nAnd squealed and squeaked \u2018til they went to sleep.<\/p>\n
