Did you miss our Flowers Storytime this week? Don't worry, here's what you missed, plus a few more suggestions so you can create your own blooming storytime at home, complete with songs and stories.
Don't need a full storytime? Borrow a rhyme when you need a short distraction, or check out these materials and spend a few minutes reading together.
What's that wedged in a crack in the ground, small and hard and wrinkly and brown? A bean seed! Soon it develops roots and leaves. And whats that on the leaf? An egg! The egg hatches a caterpillar, and the caterpillar eats the leaves, getting bigger until it forms a chrysalis. Meanwhile, the plant grows, too: it develops flowers, then bean pods as it reaches up toward the sun.
SNAP SNAP WENT THE VENUS FLY TRAP (inspired by jbrary)
Snap snap went the venus fly trap one day, snap snap went the venus fly trap.
Snap snap went the venus fly trap one day, and they all went snap snap snap. But…
We know fly traps go [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]
[clap] la de la de la [wavey arms], [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]
We know fly traps go [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms], they don’t go snap snap snap.
Buzz buzz went the bee on the flower one day, buzz buzz went the bee on the flower.
Buzz buzz went the bee on the flower one day, and they all went buzz buzz buzz. But…
We know flowers go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]
[clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms], [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]
We know flowers go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms], they don’t go buzz buzz buzz.
