momstown Milton: Tales for Tots - Finger Play with Scholastic's Old MacDonald Had a Farm Puppet Book

Today was a great day to be on the farm! Well, actually, we weren't at the farm, but we pretended we were at our momstown Milton Tales for Tots program at Chapters Indigo. It was a real 'hoe-down' with some children bringing farm animal toys from home, and most just excited to be doing things that have to do with their favourite subject in the whole world: Old MacDonald Had a Farm!

We started off looking after the little children by organizing a bit of colouring of different animals you would see on the farm that was found and printed from the Internet.

The older children got into the groove, the farm groove that is, by prepping themselves for the craft that day which was construction paper pigs.

             
              Craft items included:

              -pink & black construction paper
              -glue
              -Google eyes
              -pink pipe cleaner

               Voila! A pink pig!












Afterwards we of course sang Old MacDonald Had a Farm and many other farm animal songs (there are SO many!) And when it came to reading, the little ones were very excited because today's book donated by Scholastic Canada was Old MacDonald Had a Farm, the finger puppet version! Their little eyes smiled with enthusiasm.

Our grand prize winner for this book was Zachary! Perfect: he is 18 months and looooves animals!
