Ocean Theme and the Felt Board

The other day, the daycare where I work, visited the library for storytime. The librarian carried out an ocean theme with books, songs and felt stories. Of course, she sang Slippery Fish, a classic. But, she also sang a new one for me, following the song/rhyme Five Little Monkeys but instead singing with fish and a shark:

Five little fishies swimming in the sea
Teasing Mr. Shark, "you can't catch me, no you can't catch me"
Along came the Shark as quiet as can be
And snap!

Four little fishies.....

My following collection contributes to an Ocean Theme. Please click on the photo for the blog entry and further information.

Five Green and Speckled Frogs for the Felt Board

 
After working years in the childcare field  I would have to hazard a guess that Five Green and Speckled Frogs is the most common felt board song that I have observed from my colleagues. I certainly use my felt board pieces a great deal, either with preschool ages or toddlers. In addition, I also have felt puppets in my collection, with one being made within my days as an ECE student. I like how my frogs turned out, and I think what makes them so adorable, is those googly eyes and smiles!

Wow, how long has this been in my circle time "toolbox"?
