SONGS

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itty bitty spider

climbed up the waterspout.

Down can the rain

and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun

and dried up all the rain

and the itty bitty spider 

went up the spout again.

Patterns and Puzzles

• Milk a cow: fill a rubber glove with milk and poke a small hole in the end of each finger. Have the children milk the “udders” into a small bucket.  If you have a stool, straw hats and rubber boots the kids will love to dress up.

• Farm animal charades: each child can act like an animal and the others can guess.

• Make butter! Place some heavy cream in a baby food jar. Have the kids shake the jar.  If desired, mix in a pinch of salt and a few drops of yellow food coloring.  Spread the butter on crackers for kids to taste.  If you insert a clean marble into the jar, it will not need to be shaken as long.
