Witches

"I don't like witches"

This comment came from one my most favorite little 3 year old patrons. She was pointing to a little reading scarecrow we have up as part of my Read-to-Me Preschool Reading club decor.

Me: "Oh, its not a witch sweetheart. It's a scarecrow."
Cutie: "What is dat?"
Me: "It goes up to keep the birds away from the farm. But this is one very nice, it is smiling and reading a book!"
Cutie: "What is this?" (pointing to the straw body)
Me: "It's made of straw."
Cutie: "I don't like witches. There is a witch in there."

There was also a long story which I can only assume was about a witch she saw somewhere, but there was too much preschool talk in there for me to get it lol It was so cute, though! And then she came in today and I wondered if she would remember and sure enough she walked right over to it and told me,

"I don't like witches".

Another winner comment from my 2 and 3 year old's...

I am doing a song about 5 little bunnies with the puppet glove or "monkey mitt". A puppet glove is a furry glove with velcro on the finger tips where you attack five little puppets and sing a song and stuff. So the song goes a little like this. "Five little bunnies come into to town, into town, into town. Five little bunnies come into town. HOP HOP HOP. One little bunny hid in a bush, hid in a bush, hid in a bush. One little bunny hid in a bush. HOP HOP HOP" I put the little bunny puppets behind me on a table when they hid so the kid's can't see them. Then all the bunnies are gone and I say, "Oh no, where are all the bunnies?" hoping they would say, "Hiding in the bush!" But no, one of my little sweethearts says, "ON THE TABLE!!" It was so cute, I could hardly stop laughing. Everyone was cracking up. Kids are too freaken smart for me!

Storytime for 2's and 3's

HIghlight of my storytime today:

A little boy, who had his own little party dancing a jig and singing in the middle of the room for most of the session, turns to me before he leaves and says, "OK, bye I'll miss you!"

How can you not love that?
