Letter P

We explore the letter P!  Pink perfect puppies parade around the letter P!

BOOKS:

We read Pete’s a Pizza by William Steig and Press Here by Herve Tuillet.

Both of these were fun.  I hadn’t read Pete’s a Pizza so it was super fun and delightful.  The kids LOVED Press Here.  I had them help me and pretend that they had a book in front of them too so they could press and shake and tilt without having everyone swarmed on top of me or having to take turns.

FINGERPLAY:

Our fingerplay went with Pete since that was the first book we read.  We played “Pizza Man,” borrowed from Storytime Katie.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, pizza man. (clap hands)
Make me a pizza as fast as you can. (shake finger)
Roll it, (rolling pin)
Toss it, (toss it in the air)
Sprinkle it with cheese (sprinkling motion)
Put it in the oven. (open oven and push in)
And bake it fast please!

SONG:

We listened to (and acted out) “Popcorn Calling Me” by Laurie Berkner.  The kids LOVED this song so much.  I had a storytime mom call me in the afternoon to ask what song we sang because the kids wanted to listen to it again!

CRAFT:

We made Pete the Cat headbands.  The preschoolers who knew Pete the Cat were SO excited and everyone else liked it too just because it was fun.  Here’s me in mine.  This was surprisingly easy to make, but it had a lot of little parts which were difficult for little hands.
