I ended up changing my original plan for this storytime because I got someone to play the Cat in the Hat! When I have a guest I do fewer books, because the kids normally are so interested in the guest! I also like to give them extra time to take pictures and give hugs. I ended up skipping the fingerplay today but I wanted to put it in here for future reference. We ended up doing both a craft and a science experiment today, so that took the place of the fingerplay.
Books:
The Cat in the Hat
Marvin K. Mooney Would You Please Go Now!
Fingerplay:
One little cat on a sunny day
Put on his hat and went out to play
Two little cats when the sky turned dark
Put on their hats and went to the park
Three little cats when the sky turned blue
Put on their hats and went to the zoo
Four little cats by the kitchen door
Put on their hats and went to the store
Five little cats on a sunny day
Put on their hats and they all ran away.

Flannelboard:
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish
Black fish, blue fish, old fish, new fish
This one has a little star
This one has a little car
Say! What a lot of fish there are!
Craft:
Oobleck!
1 part Water
2 parts cornstarch
Food Coloring
With this one, I summarized the story of Bartholomew and the Oobleck, and let the kids play with it a little bit. It rinses off immediately in water so it's not terribly messy, and I had a very small group today
Wockets in our Pockets
This was my fancier Wocket (I printed it out), but the kids got to color theirs and walk around with Wockets in their pockets.
