J is for Jungle and Going Green

Last week, we learned about jungles and the letter J during preschool storytime.  Our favorite book was Snarlyhissopus by Alan MacDonald and illustrated by Louise Voce.
We also read Keith's Baker's Who is the Beast?  It is a jungle-themed storytime must have!
 
After loads of reading and singing and having fun, we finished things off by making a jungle vine necklace.  The trick to dying the noodles is putting a few drops of food coloring in a half cup or so of rubbing alcohol and stirring the noodles frequently to coat.  It's best to let them dry overnight.

This week, in honor of St. Patrick's day we read green stories, our favorite being Mem Fox's Where is the Green Sheep? 
We made lace-up shamrocks for our craft...of course!  We added a few sequins for a bit of sparkle.
