Cheese Storytime – Toddlers

Introduction	Hello Hello!
Books	Grandpa and Me by Karen Katz
Action Rhyme	I Wiggle I wiggle my fingers. I wiggle my toes. I wiggle my ears. I wiggle my nose. I wiggle my shoulders. I wiggle my chin. I stretch my arms wide and pull them back in.

Craft

My source of inspiration came from Magic Sewing Hands felt craft. However, instead of using felt, I used cardboard and paper. I loved that this craft worked on eye and hand coordination.
