Toddler Time for the Week of June 29th

Hip, hip hooray for the U.S.A.! We celebrated our country’s birthday this week by reading WOW! America! by Robert Neubecker. This book contains awesome landmarks and symbols of America. After that, we counted some firecrackers, we pretended to march in a parade, sang Happy Birthday America, and created some patriotic hats that we can wear this weekend!

See you next week, and have a safe and fun 4th of July!

5 little firecrackers standing in a row

1 gets lit and off it goes

It zips up high with a zoom, zoom, zoom

Here it goes with a boom, boom, boom

(then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 firecracker)
