Welcome to story time. Today’s theme is all about paint! Let’s get started with a song!
Fingerplay: The Itsy-Bitsy Spider
The itsy-bitsy spider,
Went up the water spout.
Down came the rain,
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sun,
And dried up all the rain.
And the itsy-bitsy spider,
Went up the spout again.

Scarf Song: Rainbow Color Song
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
First comes red and orange too
Shiny yellow, green, and blue
Purple ends the pretty rays
Only seen on rainy days
First comes red and orange too
Shiny yellow, green, and blue

Flannel Board: Paintbrushes
Five little brushes went out to paint.
One painted white, then ran away in fright.
The second painted red and jumped under the bed.
The third painted green then fled the scene.
The fourth painted black than ran around back.
The fifth painted yellow and felt so mellow,
He invited everyone back to begin again!

Scarf Song: Wave Your Scarf Up and Down
(Tune: London Bridge)
Wave your scarf up and down,
up and down,
up and down.
Wave your scarf up and down,
wave your scarf.
Verses: left and right…
fast and slow…
high and low…
around and around
wave it goodbye

Song: We Wave Goodbye like This
We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye like this.
We clap our hands for all our friends.
We wave goodbye like this.
