Pick a Puppet -- Any Puppet I start off with my all time favorite turtle puppet and the Vachel Lindsay poem: I have a little turtle, he lives in a box. He swims in the puddles, he climbs on the rocks. He snaps at the mosquitoes, he snaps at the fleas, he snaps at the minnows, He snaps at me! He caught the mosquitoes, he caught the fleas, he caught those minnows, But he didn't catch me! While I recite I circle the room and snap and nibble at the children by turns. Change words to do with another puppet. Groovy Joe Ice Cream & Dinosaurs by Litwin Yummy YUCKY by Leslie Patricelli. Ask the kids to rub their tummies to the yummies. Group was pretty old this year so I skipped. I Really Like Slop by Mo Willems, Elephant and Piggy. This one is short and too too funny. Peanut Butter books by Terry Border. Big hit with the moms, esp. when you pause at the end ...
