I adapted the movement to work with Play-Doh
Letter Recognition and Tactile FocusI found these awesome sheets from Pre-K Printable Fun. I laminated them for future use. The kids got to pick if they wanted to work on the lowercase or uppercase letter “P”.


 
We then moved on to the bottom half of the sheet with making pumpkins. I started them with one large pumpkin. I then had them split their pumpkin into 2, 3, and 4.

Shape Tactile FocusWe talked about how quilts can be made up of different shapes and sometimes they are have circles inside of quilts. I created a sheet with a bunch of different circle shapes. Kids worked on filling their circles while I read Llama, Llama Red Pajama to them.

Song ActivityBefore I started the song, I had the kids make five balls of play-doh. I handed out 3X3in poster board and had the kids put their “monkeys” on the bed. They could make their monkeys jump but had to remove a monkey when one fell off.

Open Play After we were done with the structured storytime, I released the kids and their adults for open play. I had tables out with a ton of play-doh tools.
