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.

The Rainbow Fish Felt Board Story

This is my newest version, but the Rainbow Fish was one of the first felt stories I made as an Early  Childhood Educator, actually I made it for a practicum assignment. I have told the story so many times, and all ages enjoy it! I place some scotch tape behind the sparkly scales so they can be moved onto the other fish and then at the end of the story replaced back. The technique lasts for a long time!
