Down At The Pond

Five little frogs were down at the pond, down at the pond at play.

Along came a hungry _(insert child’s name)_, and chased one frog away.

Four little frogs were down at the pond, down at the pond at play.

Along came a wiggly _(insert child’s name)_, and chased one frog away.

Three little frogs were down at the pond, down at the pond at play.

Along came a giant _(insert child’s name)_, and chased on frog away.

Two little frogs were down at the pond, down at the pond at play.

Along came a purple _(insert child’s name)_, and chased on frog away.

One little frog was down at the pond, down at the pond at play.

Along came a flying _(insert child’s name)_, and chased on frog away.

Then no little frogs were down at the pond – down at the pond at play.

Where do you think the little frogs went – when they all hopped away?

As you may have already guessed, today’s story time theme was frogs. We read Bradley McGogg, The Very Fine Frog, and we also read The Wide-Mouthed Frog.  Bradley McGogg is full of rhyming words and tongue twisters, so it was fun to read and interesting for the children to listen to.

Today, we also sharpened our scissor skills (pun intended), and practiced cutting out frogs.  This was challenging for the kids, but they were determined and did a wonderful job.

At craft time, we made paper bag frog puppets.

We hope you enjoyed our little story time recap.  We’ll be back next week with butterflies!
