We were able to read three books. Hooray for Today! by Brian Won is about an owl who wants to have a party, but all of his animal friends are sleepy. This was the longest of the three books, but the group liked the story and the different animals. It also got us talking a little bit about nocturnal animals.
Our next book was Wow! Said the Owl by Tim Hopgood. This is a great book about colors that becomes interactive because the kids can help with announcing each color the sky changes to. They were excited to see the rainbow at the end of the book.
The final book we read was also a fun, interactive book. Don't Blink! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal got the kids very involved with trying not to blink and following along to the movements of the story. This was perfect for storytime because the kids can follow along to movements, but it wasn't about turning book pages-which usually doesn't work too well with a storytime group, but made more for a personal reading time with mom or dad.
For our activities, I told a story of the Wise Old Owl using the flannel board and introducing other animals, we did our bean bag song, and we did a five little owl flannel rhyme.
They liked making their owl craft out of construction paper. They were to color their owl and glue their pieces to construction paper.
Of course we whooed a bit and had some owl stickers.
