Puppies Themed Storytime

Opening song: Good Morning/ Buenos Días (See My Storytime Set for song lyrics)   
Opening fingerplay: One Little Finger    
Literacy: That Pup by Lindsay Barrett George  
Song/movement break: Open Shut Them  
Literacy: Please, Puppy, Please by Spike Lee and Tonya Lewis Lee  
New song/movement break: 
Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone (with dog puppet)
Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short and his tail cut long, 
Oh where, oh where can he be? 

Literacy: Dog by Matthew Van Fleet 
Closing Fingerplay: Two Little Blackbirds  
Closing Movement: Parachute Play
Post storytime activity: Make-Your-Own Puppy Coloring Book! This was so easy. I printed out several different puppy coloring pages from the Internet, gave the kids a piece of construction paper to decorate, folded the construction paper over the coloring sheets and Voila! They're own coloring book that keeps giving and giving (depending on how many pages you give them!) Here are some coloring pages that might work for you.
Not a librarian's best friend.
