We added some beanie babies we already had at the library & tucked all the creatures into the tree.
Another storyteller & I discussed our ideas and this was the finished project:
WHO IS HIDING IN THE TREE?
(tune: Frere Jacques)
Who is hiding
Who is hiding
In the tree
In the tree
I spy a hedgehog
I spy a hedgehog
Yes, indeed.
Yes, indeed.
Our other entries were mouse, chipmunk, ladybug, snake, frog, butterfly, lizard--basically anything you might find in a tree & have handy.
Five bottles of juice that we drank,
Five bottles of juice.
Put one in the recycle bin.
Four bottles of juice that we drank.
We continued until all the bottles were recycled. Then you could end with:
No bottles of juice that we drank,
No bottles of juice.
They all are in the recycle bin,
All those bottles of juice that we drank.
Happy storytelling and for more ideas visit Andrea who is hosting Flannel Friday for April 26 on her blog, RovingFiddlehead KidLit Check it out. I always find something interesting when I do. For more on Flannel Friday visit its homepage.

So cute! You just never know where inspiration will strike, do you? Love that it started out as a dog toy. Lol
Thanks for sharing two fun ideas this week. My storytime friends always love games, too. :o)
Have a wonderful Saturday!

I have one of those and I used it with the book The Tree Stump by Chris Forbes. The kids loved it.
I also suggest using the books by Tracy Nelson Maurer, WHAT'S IN--A TREE? & WHAT'S IN--A LOG? The kids love looking at the photos and identifying the animals.
