Fabulous Holiday and Seasonal Fingerplays Review
These seasonal fingerplays are great. My favorite two are about rabbits. When my children are playing with playdough I get out the rabbit cookie cutter and quote two of the fingerplays from this book. One is called A rabbit in the meadow on a sunny day and the other one is called I looked across the meadow and what did I see. There is also a spring fingerplay about umbrellas and rain. I would like to send home a copy of this fingerplay with a small cut out umbrella for each child. I feel that this helps them to learn the fingerplay by heart. Another fingerplay from this book is called A cute little duck stepped out of the lake. I have a stuffed duck that I show to the children when teaching this fingerplay. This is also a great book. Thank you!
