Cows in the Kitchen
πWant to know one of my go-to singable books for practicing the core word βinβ?
Check out βCows in the Kitchenβ! The @childsplaybooks story illustrated by
by @airlieanderson is PERFECT for this! Itβs also great for animal identification and βwhereβ questions.

Earth Day, Birthday!

Winter-themed Singable books
βοΈ A big olβ snowstorm is happening here in the midwest, so I thought itβd be the perfect time to share some of my favorite winter-themed singable books!
The Mitten
Back in my private practice days, I was taught a little tune (set to the melody of βThe Farmer in the Dellβ) to accompany, βThe Mittenβ by @janbrett1 βοΈ.
πItβs a great go-to for sequencing, working on the preposition βinβ, animal identification, answering who questions (βWho squeezed in the mitten?β), big vs. little (The mitten gets bigger with each animal added!) and more!
βThis year, I paired it with my #winter sensory bin and hid the animals amongst the pom-poms, mittens, and snowflakes as an extra fun challenge! The students searched through the bin with the tweezers (great for #finemotor control practice), scoop, and/or their fingers to find the animals to add to the mitten.
π§ΆAnd to make it even more exciting, the intern Iβm supervising this year is incredible at knitting and she actually handmade a knitted mitten to use with the song - HOW AMAZING IS THAT?!
πSo many fun ways to use this classic book in your #earlychildhood , #languagetherapy , or #musictherapy sessions! Visuals, core word lists, and how I use the book are available in the Singable Book Club!
Ps. I fully realize I need to paint my nails (this polish is still hanging on from our family photosβ¦back in OCTOBER lol)
