Yup, it's that time of year again. October just seems like the perfect time to read about owls. We started by looking at all different kinds of owls: We ascertained that Hedwig from Harry Potter is a Snowy Owl and identified what kind of owl Ollie the Owl is. Can you Figure it out? That's right! He's a Great Horned Owl! Memory Box: Hedgehog from Little Owl's Night Books: Wow! Said the Owl by Tim Hopgood: A curious little owl decides to stay awake and enjoy all the colors of daytime. Tip: Before reading, prepare the kids to only shout out the appropriate color when you point to the group so they aren't all shouting colors out as soon as you turn the page. My group did great! I'm Not Cute by Johnathan Allen: Baby Owl gets upset when the animals call him cute. But he IS adorable, isn't he? Prop: My finger puppet helped cue the kids in the say Baby Owl's refrain, "I'm NOT cute!" Little Owl's Night by Divya Srinivasan: Little Owl enjoys a lovely night visiting all the nocturnal animals. Discussion: Nocturnal Letter of the Day: Oo for owl We made the letter O with our bodies and then did this yoga pose called 360-degree Owl Flannel: "One Little Owl" I played the first verse of the YouTube Video to teach everyone the song and then we sang it using my flannel pieces below. "One Little Owl" link here We used this sign for tree every time we sang the word "tree' One little owl said, "Whoo, whoo" Two little owls said, "Whoo, whoo" Three little owls said, "Whoo, whoo" As they sat in the old oak tree One little squirrel said, "Crunch, crunch".... One little crow said, "Caw, caw" Sorting Game: Nocturnal or Diurnal? (Family Storytime) We sorted these animals: Nocturnal Diurnal (daytime animals) Movement/Music Activity: "Mr. Owl" Enormous thanks to Lisa Shaia at http://thriveafterthree.com/ for this song. We came up with dance moves for Mr. Owl, Mr. Bird, and Mr. Kitty and sang with these animals. It's basically a really fun call and response song. It's recorded by Kimmy Schwimmy Additional Songs/Videos: "Ten Little Owls" YouTube link here "Nocturnal Animals" Play song and find lyrics here (I used this song with puppet and some sign language last year) Evenig Family Storytime Pictures: "Dancing to Mr. Owl" Join us on Thursdays @6pm Geared toward children ages 2 - 7, but all family member welcomed!

Owl, Badger, and Hedgehog Preschool Crafts Nocturnal animals theme is pretty exciting for preschoolers. My Firefly has got a hedgehog and a badger. Both turned out excellent for fine motor skills practice! Our favorite book for this theme is "Oliver's Wood" by Sue Hendra. Oliver's Wood: Meet Nocturnal Animals "Oliver's Wood" by Sue Hendra was our inspiration for these activities. Oliver and his friends are busy playing at night. Would they care to see the sun? This is a simple and very happy story! My Firefly loved exploring nocturnal animals. And I loved that all these crafts and play encouraged her to use her hand muscles. Three-finger grip to pincer grip: great fine motor activities! Nocturnal Animals: Hedgehog Pictured above: I introduced her to the three finger grip to pull a hedgehog's nose out of the blob of play dough. First, she showed 3 fingers. Then, she tried to gently pull the dough to form a nose and two indents for eyes. Of course, she had to try several times until she got happy with the nose. An awesome pencil grip practice for this age! The reward: put a button up on top! For this activity we used play dough, buttons, googly eyes, spaghetti. Nocturnal Animals: Badger My Firefly was happy to get new friends for Oliver. I made a badger for her, and she happily took him to bed with her. Then she stopped and said, "I don't want to go to bed because I am nocturnal too. It's time for us to play!" Aren't they creative with their reasoning at bedtime? I cut two pieces of the bandage tape and made holes in them for badger's eyes. For the nose, I sewed a bead on top of the middle finger. The badger is ready to say "Hi". The "talking badger" is another good practice for the pencil grip. Nocturnal Animals: Owl We also had our Oliver craft found here: Painting the Moon Processed Art and Handprint Owl.
