Fingerplay: One Little Cat; From Mel's Desk
One little cat on a sunny day
Put on his hat and went out to play
Two little cats when the sky turned dark
Put on their hats and went to the park.
Three little cats when the sky turned blue
Put on their hats and went to the zoo
Four little cats by the kitchen door
Put on their hats and went to the store
Five little cats on a sunny day
Put on their hats and they all ran away
Book: Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? by Dr. Seuss
Flannel Board Game: Eggs! From Mel's Desk
We started with eight yellow eggs on the flannel board. Then we recited this rhyme:
Sam-I-am, Sam-I-am
I so do like ____(insert color) eggs and ham.
I flipped the eggs over one by one, revealing the color on the other side of the egg!
Flannel Board Activity: Dr. Seuss Hats
This is one of my favorite activities!

| The cat starts out with a missing hat. Where could it be? |
 |
| Is this it? Nope, it's a leprechaun hat! |
 |
| Is this it? Nope - these are earmuffs! |
 |
| Is this it? Yes! |
Song: Shake Your Sillies Out; From the Wiggles' CD "Yummy Yummy"
Craft: Cat in the Hat; From Teach Preschool
We made cat in the hat picture by gluing on the cat's face, whiskers, hat, and bow to a piece of construction paper. Then the kids colored the cat's face and decorated the hat and bow. I put out red strips of paper so they could glue those onto the hat!
