This week our theme was Weather. I had to make some slight adjustments to my original plan because of my broken foot, but otherwise everything went according to plan!

We're Stomping in the Rain (Tune: "Farmer in the Dell"):

We're stomping in the rain,

We're stomping in the rain,

We can't go yet, we must get wet!

We're stomping in the rain.

Umbrella Hiding Game:

We have a flannel with 10 umbrellas and 10 raindrops. I didn't think that the toddlers would sit through the entirety of the song (the Weather version to the tune of "10 Little Indians") and so I decided to use 6 or so of the umbrellas and hide a raindrop under them. I used the rhyme we use a lot at my library but with different themes:

Raindrop, raindrop, come out to play.

What colored umbrella are you hiding behind today?
