Toddler Time 11/4/15

The dinosaurs have come to Toddler Time too! 

 

It was a small group of two young friends and three adults. It is so special that the grandmas and grandpas are bringing the little ones to story time!  Thank you!!!

 

 We started with our opening song then read the book Dinosaur Colors by Paul Stickland.It was fun to talk about all of the different colored dinosaurs. We also used the picture cues to help us determine if the dinosaur was a plant or meat eater.  Both of my friends saw some colors that they knew and learned some new ones.

 

Then we did the Dino-Pokey!!! This is so much fun! Both friends learned it yesterday in Preschool Pages and had the technique of the claws, feet and tail!

 

My Dinosaur Book by Karen Carr was a book that had "J" and "L" up off their bottoms, hands pointing and conversations happening!! We saw dinosaurs with features such as; bills,  bony plates, tough armor, large horns and short arms!  We could have talked about the photos in this book for hours.

 

Our dinotivities for today required play time with the grandparents.  We did a capital and lowercase D d sort. Naming the letter and the sound as often as possible. Both friends did very well with the sort and had a great time with their adults!

Our other activity was a dinosaur memory game.  We had to learn to flip ONLY two cards over at a time AND to take turns! A lot of great conversations between the grandparents and children were happening while they were playing together!

I wonder what dinosaur books and activities we will see next week?
