Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake
My Sillies Out.
Book: Art by Patrick McDonnell.
Poem: Magical Eraser from the Shel Silverstein
book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. We told this
poem using a puppet, giant pencil, and dry erase board.
Book: I Ain't Gonna Paint No More! Karen
Beaumont; illustrated by David Catrow.
Song: Put a Little Color on You (Extended Response
Version) from the compact disc, Hap Palmer’s Can a Cherry Pie Wave Goodbye? We made die-cut circles of the four
colors and gave one set to each child. The kids would put the colors on their
different body parts in time with the song.
Book: I’m the Best Artist in the Ocean by
Kevin Sherry. We used our squid and shark puppets to help read this book.
Book/Poem: Fast Draw Freddie by Bobbie Hamsa. We
took turns holding up large paper drawings which corresponded with each line of
the text.
Story: Monkey Face. We have a draw-and-tell
version of this story, which we told using a dry erase board.
Song/Activity: The Drawing Song, from the Sesame
Street compact disc, Elmo’s Favorite Sing-Alongs. We
taped large pieces of butcher paper along the walls and let the kids draw with
crayons while the music played. Very fun!
