Camping Storytime

This is the last storytime that we are doing crafts with until September.  I chose this theme because of all cute ideas I found on So Tomorrow's Pintrest Page. I had to make one of those so camping became the theme. Thanks Anne for the inspiration!

Action Songs:
Going on a Bear Hunt with book.  Everyone chanted along and slapped their knees through that whole crazy long book.  Good job parents! :)

Campfire Hokey Pokey
Mollie over at What Happens in Storytime shared this on Flannel Friday.
Thanks Mollie for sharing! Here is my attempt!

Campfire Hokey Pokey

You put your marshmallow in.

You put your marshmallow out.

You put your marshmallow in and you shake it all about!

You do the campfire pokey and you turn yourself around!

That's what it is all about!

(repeat using apple, hot dog, and popcorn)

Fingerplay

My coworker let me borrow her rhyme on fireflies along with the fireflies for the Flannelboard

Five little fireflies

One little firefly shines very bright

Two little fireflies show their lights

Three little fireflies glimmer and glow

Four little fireflies watch them go!

Five little fireflies fly in the night

Blink! Blink! Blink! Blink!

(open and close fingers)

My! What a sight!

Craft

As I said, I was inspired by Anne from So Tomorrow for my craft.  Here is what I came up with!

The crafts I took inspiration from can be found here at Fumbling through Parenthood and Mega Story Time.
