Let's Wave Our Hands

Let's wave our hands for Daddy,

for Daddy, for Daddy.

Let's wave our hands for Daddy,

let's wave them this way!

Wave this way and that way,

wave this way and that way.

Let's wave our hands for Daddy,

let's wave them this way!

Let's bounce around...

Let's clap our hands...

Crafts: 

Picture Frame

Cut construction paper into 4 pieces. Give each child one square. Have children glue popsicle sticks onto their square to make a box. Then, use various materials to decorate the sticks. Punch a hole in the top of the paper and string with lanyard string to make a hanger. Announce that when children get home, they can glue a family picture onto the construction paper to complete the frame!
