I put in a variety of sizes and shapes to make it challenging. and then take turns trying to get the toys out of the basket through the yarn web. Using a basket, weave and wrap a basket with yarn to make a web.Īdd a variety of small toys. This science and nature STEAM station goes along very well with the Lion and the Mouse fable. Love using those quick drying paint sticks for little projects like this! So cute! We used Kwik Stix to paint our puppets. Next, we made our creative art story puppets. It’s great to see the writing development over the months and years. I love how my group was anxious to hear the next part of the story. As I read the story, I paused and explained some of the vocabulary words so I didn’t lose anyone. The Lion & The Mouse: the moral of the story is kindness is never wasted. We marked a special day when we celebrate not one but two birthdays on the same day! The twins will turn 4. The kids count along while I write them down. We always start by putting up our new calendar for the month and writing in the numbers. The days are full! I really, really like the Mother Goose Time teacher guides. We didn’t get to all the activities, unfortunately.
The Lion & the Mouse lesson plans in the week one teacher guide. Week one, lesson 1: The Lion & the Mouse. I’m looking forward to the Folktales and Fables lessons this month before school officially starts. I need it and so do the kids! I’ve been buried working on summer classes for my bachelor’s degree, finishing 9 credits in 11 weeks. We’ve been taking it pretty slow this summer and enjoying the outdoors more than we’ve been doing lessons but it’s time to get a little structure back. Here’s a little overview of Fables and Folktales for Preschoolers. If you’re interested in what’s in the Mother Goose Time box each month, see this post: WHAT’S IN THE BOX: FABLES AND FOLKTALES. Read about my favorite fable, The Crow & the Pitcher. Check out these fun lion & the mouse fable activities we did for day one.

The moral teaches us how to be helpful and kind no matter your size. The characters in this fable are a lion and a mouse. We started with Aesop’s Fables, the Lion and the Mouse. It’s August! Time to start our Folktales & Fables lessons with Mother Goose Time.
