The local library hosted a
Sandra Boynton sing-a-long which also
included playing along and dancing along. Boynton has some fabulous
books that include music.
Frog Trouble and
Philadelphia Chickens are
favorites at our house.

Another visit to the library had stories, songs, and activities related to fall. My son made a tree full of colorful leaves.

The next week was storybook friends with
Pete the Cat. Pete is a feline who often falls into
hardships. In one story, he goes walking in his white shoes singing a
song about them, only to step into strawberries (turning the shoes red),
blueberries (turning them blue), etc. Every time, Pete doesn't get
upset and continues enjoying his walk, singing about his red shoes or
his blue shoes, etc. He's a resilient fellow. Another story has him losing
buttons off his shirt, until the only button he has left is his belly button! The craft
was a coloring page to which we glued some buttons. They haven't fallen
off yet!

Since the glue had to dry, we did not get
an "on the spot" picture. By the time we were home, the toddler was on to other
things. Here's how it turned out...
