five little birds felt board story for preschool and kindergarten
I made a felt board story that can be used with a spring or bird theme during circle time. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

I made this as a group participation story where the children can count a long as the birds all fly off and eventually return.  You can download the patterns and see a video below:

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Crafts

chicka chicka boom boom crafts for preschool and kindergarten
Here are three of our favorite craft projects we do with our chicka chicka boom boom theme:

ccbb crown - Cut construction paper into 4 1/2 inch wide strips.  Measure the strips around child's head to  make sure they fit ... in some case you will need to attach two strips together to make a longer one.

Print the patterns on cardstock paper for the ccbb tree and regular paper for the letter circles.  Cut them out and glue the patterns on to construction paper and glue ... tape ... or staple ends together to form a crown.

handprint ccbb tree - trace around child's on green construction paper and cut out three hand prints.  Cut out a tree trunk from brown construction paper. Glue the trunk on a sheet of construction paper or colored cardstock paper. Glue the three handprints on top of the trunk.

Cut three small coconut shapes out of black construction paper and glue where the tree trunk meets the leaves.  Print letter circle patterns and cut them out. Glue several onto the leaves ... trunk ... and background.

ccbb tree - check out the video below on how we made these adorable trees and grab the patterns here.

five little owls countdown rhyme for circle time
I made an owl countdown rhyme for circle time.  I printed the owls on cardstock paper and attached them to craft sticks but you can also do this activity on a feltboard.

five little owls

1... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 little owls sitting in a tree
they were shouting "who who who" as loud as can be.
one flew away and then there were four.

1 little owl sitting in a tree
he was shouting "who who who" as loud as can be.
he flew away and then there were no little owls sitting in the tree.

The children love to shout "who who who" so be prepared that it may get a little loud.  You can grab the patterns and words for five little owls here.

and then there's Saturday

Circle Time Flower Colors

Circle Time Flower Colors For PReschool and Kindergarten
We did a flower themed circle time activity similar to "brown bear ... brown bear what do you see?".   I showed the children each of the flowers one at a time and told them what color it was.  When you do the following activity you can start with any color that you wish.  There is no particular order the flower colors.
Circle Time Flower Colors Preschool and Kindergarten
After we finished reviewing the colors I picked the red flower and held it up so all of the children could see.

red flower ... red flower what do you see?
I see a blue flower looking at me. (hold up blue flower and remove red)

blue flower ... blue flower what do you see?
I see a green flower looking at me. (hold up green flower and remove blue)

green flower ... green flower what do you see?
I see a black flower looking at me. (hold up black flower and remove green)


Continue until you have gone through all of the colors.  When you hold the last flower up say "I see all of the color flowers looking at me".
Circle Time Flower Colors For Preschool and Kindergarten
You can find the flower patterns here.  I printed them on cardstock paper ... laminated them and glue them to craft sticks but you do not have to.  You can attach magnets to the back and use on a magnetic board ... you could also attach velcro or masking tape to the back and use on a felt board.


I love using props at circle time so be on the look out for more goodies soon!!
