Activities:
If You Hear the Wind...
(To the tune of: If You're Happy and You Know It)
**Ask the kids to pretend it's very windy in the room.
If you hear the whistling wind, cup your ears.
If you hear the whistling wind, cup your ears.
If you hear it in the trees making music with the leaves,
If you hear the whistling wind, cup your ears.
If you hear the blustery wind, whirl around.
If you hear the blustery wind, whirl around.
If you feel it lift your hair like a kite up in the air,
If you hear the blustery wind, whirl around.
Walking in the Snow
**Ask the kids to act out the suggestions in the song.
Let's go walking in the snow,
Walking, walking, on tiptoe.
Lift one foot way up high,
Then the other to keep it dry.
All around the yard we skip,
Watch your step or you might slip!
This Little Wind
(To the tune of: This Little Piggy)
**Have kids tap fingers along with you, and after you are done reading, have them count how many fingers they are holding up.
This little wind blows rain,
This little wind drifts snow.
This little winds brings the sunshine,
This litte wind whistles low.
And the little wind
Rocks the baby birds to and fro.
Crafts:
Fluffy Rain Clouds
BEFORE storytime, cut cloud shapes out of white cardstock. Punch one hole in the top of each. Curl different pieces of ribon at different lengths. Give each child one cloud and five or six pieces of ribbon. Have them glue cotton balls on the cloud to make it fluffy (they can stretch them out if they want to). Next, glue the ribbon onto the cloud to make rain falling down. Tie one piece of string through the hole at the top to make a hanger.
