Observations

The kids really liked the finger rhyme and making the “bang” sound. They also got a kick out of “The Donut Song.” We acted like we were running to the store.

Touch your nose, touch your nose?

Observations

The kids were pretty antsy given the nice weather. The parents got a kick out of Everyone Loves Bacon. The biggest hit with the kids was the “Toast in the Toaster.” We only had a handful of kids, so I was able to lift all the kids in the air for the pop (with the parent’s permission of course).
