Little STEAMers: Food

Introduction	Tickle the Moon Tickle the Moon Tickle your toes. Clap your hands And tickle your nose. Reach up high. Reach down low. Turn around, And say hello! Source: Storytime Katie has a closing version she found on pinterest. I wanted an opening song, so my coworker reworked it to make an opening song.
Book	Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin
Action Song	Spicy Salsa We did not have time for this song, but I have made a mental note to do it with the kids another time.
Song	Table Manners (Tune: Frere Jacques)Chewing quietly, chewing quietly Do not slurp, do not slurp, We must say excuse me, We must say excuse me When we burp, When we burp.Source: https://jbrary.com/family-storytime-making-food/
Activity	We made our own butter! I played a list of songs that involved shakes and wiggles (Shake it Off, Hot Potato, Milkshake). I would count to 10 and have the kids pass the jar to the next kid. It worked out great! We had butter by the third song.
Closing Song	Tickle the Stars Tickle the Stars Tickle your toes Turn around And tickle your nose Reach down low Reach up high Storytime’s over So wave goodbye!

Activities

Craft	Taco Bar!
Touch	Rainbow Jello Soup This was the most popular station. It was also the messiest. Word of advice. Clean the big bin right away.
Sorting	I printed off the different food groups and assigned each one to a bucket. The kids then sorted the food to the appropriate food bin.
Imaginary Play	We have a play kitchen and I opened it up for the kids to play with.
