Great springtime stories for preschoolers.
Fran's Flower
by Lisa Bruce and pictures by Rosalind Beardshaw
( I love this one, and so do the kids.)
One Little Seed
by Elaine Greenstein
Up, Down, and Around
by Katherine Ayres and pictures by Nadine Bernard Westcott
Counting in the Garden
by Kim Parker
Max Loves Sunflowers
by Ken Wilson-Max
(Another favorite. The preschool teachers were really impressed by this one. It has moving parts, and the kids loved when Max and the pig were dancing-- they even danced along.)
Songs:
This is the Way We Plant Our Seeds
This is the way we plant our seeds,
plant our seeds, plant our seeds.
This is the way we plant our seeds,
so early in the morning.
This is the way the rain falls down,
rain falls down, rain falls down,
This is the way the rain falls down,
so early in the morning.
(Other verses)
This is the way the sun shines bright
This is the way the wind does blow
This is the way we hoe the soil
This is the way the seeds grow up
This is the way we pick the beans
Fingerplay--
A Little Sun
A little sun
(arms up in a circle for the sun)
A little rain
(fingers mimic rain)
And then we pull up weeds
(pulling motions)
Our flowers grow all in a row
(hold up all ten fingers)
From tiny little seeds
(show how small the seeds are)
(arms up in a circle for the sun)
A little rain
(fingers mimic rain)
And then we pull up weeds
(pulling motions)
Our flowers grow all in a row
(hold up all ten fingers)
From tiny little seeds
(show how small the seeds are)
