To make 5 Fast Rockets, I used the pattern with white fun foam. The details on the rockets are made from glitter glue.
Five Fast Rockets
1 (2, 3, 4) fast rocket(s)
Blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race!
Closing verse
Closing verse
5 fast rockets
Let the race begin!
They'll circle the moon,
They'll circle the moon,
Then home they'll zoom.
Which do you think will win?
(From Finger Folk by Marilyn Lohnes)
With this rhyme I used my small lapboard. I added a 1-inch wide piece of elastic to the back so I could put my hand through it. The elastic will also hold my printed rhyme so it looks like I have the rhyme memorized.
For those who haven't seen a storytelling glove before, my rockets are attached to one below. Younger children really like the glove to the point where they seem mesmerized by it. I have a feeling it is the dark blue color that holds their attention.
This week's round-up is hosted by Liz at Putting Smiles on Faces.
Your elastic idea is very creative! Where did you get your small flannelboard?
ReplyDeleteI love using my gloves ~ especially with my youngest group. Makes it easy to get up and move around while you are doing a count-up or count-down rhyme. :-) I also recommend the book, Finger Folk ~ awesome patterns and fun rhymes!
Thanks for sharing your sparkly rockets this week!
Have a wonderful Friday!
~K~
Great idea! I am now going to add elastic to my small board. I have a mit and it is really fun to use with the 5 little whatits rhymes.
