8/3, 8/4 Story Hour

Theme: Horses and Cowboys
Rhyme Dice: Baby Bumblebee and make the letter "C"
Story: Cowboy Camp by Tammi Sauer
Song: I’m a Little Cowboy (to the tune of I'm a Little Teapot)
"I'm a little cowboy (point to self)
here's my hat (pat head).
Here are my spurs (touch feet)
and here are my chaps (hands hit thighs).
I wake up in the morning (stretch and yawn)
and I work all day (pretend to shovel hay).
I get on my horse and ride away (pretend to ride in place)."
Activity: Use a lasso, wear a cowboy hat, and get your picture taken in saddle. Ride stick horses.
Craft: Color a bandana
Next week we will be learning about cows, making butter, and decorating cow masks. Hope you enjoy this next trip to the farm!
