Fingerplay

Blue Is the Lake

Blue is the lake

(point to the floor)

Yellow is the sun

(Point to the sky)

Silver is the stars,

When the day is done

(Wiggle fingers in the air)     

Red is the apple.                                                              

(Make circle with hands)                                                                  

Green is the tree,

(Raise arms over head like branches)

Brown is a chocolate chip cookie for you and me!
(Rub tummy)


Song
Making Paint Orange (Tune:"Down by the Station")


Down by the paint store
Early in the morning.
See the little paint cans
Standing in a row.


See the paint worker
mix yellow paint in red.
Stir, stir stir
Now it's orange paint-instead!


Down at the paint store
Early in the morning.
See the little paint cans
Standing in a row.


See the paint worker
Mix yellow paint into blue.
Stir, stir, stir
Now it's green paint-instead.


Down at the paint store
Early in the morning
See the little paint cans
Standing in a row.


See the paint worker
Mix blue into red.
Stir, stir, stir
Now it's purple paint-instead.


Now the paint worker mixes all the colors of the rainbow together
and guess what
he gets the brightest white in the world!


Song
O Rainbow (Tune: "O Christmas Tree")


O rainbow, o rainbow
How lovely are your colors?
O rainbow, o rainbow
How lovely are your colors?
Purple, red and orange too
Yellow, green and blue so true
O rainbow, o rainbow
How lovely are your colors?

Wiggles and Giggles all over the library! Lapsit Story time (1-2 year olds) Topic: Colors

It's freezing outside, so what better way to cure the baby winter blues than with a bright and interactive song and dance-filled story time. Welcome to Wiggles and Giggles Story time (Mondays at 10 am), where story time and play time are combined. We'll shake our wiggles out, sing, tell flannel board stories, read a book or two and have loads of fun. We use items such as egg shakers, streamers or bubbles to bring our story time to life. Bring your doll or teddy bear along so they can enjoy this story time too!

This week's story time topic is colors. We will bring the story time alive by reading one or two of these books: Dog's Colorful Day by Emma Dodd, Balloons, Balloons, Balloons by Dee Lillegard an Red Sled by Patricia Thomas.
