Books We Read :
Night at the Fair by Donald Crews
I Know a Wee Piggy by Kimberly Norman
A Fabulous Fair Alphabet by Debra Frasier (Minnesota's own!)
Roller Coaster by Kevin O'Malley (sadly now out of print ...)The thing to do at the State Fair (other than go on the rides, see the animals and play games) is eat. And everything you can get to eat comes on a stick. So I created this simple flannel to go with that theme :
ON A STICK
I went down to the Minnesota Fair
The cows and the sheep and the pigs were there.
But when food I did demand,
We waited at a stand
And got cotton candy on a stick to share!
bacon
a dill pickle
a corn doga caramel apple
Great! I'm a state fair aficionada as well. I live in IL but attend the Iowa Fair. It's how I celebrate the end of summer reading. This is great!
ReplyDeleteFun idea! I have never done a Fair storytime but it sounds like you had fun with it. :o) And who doesn't love food on a stick? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI think if you tweak your rhyme just a little you could sing it to the tune of Animal Fair. Make the second line 'The cows, sheep, and pigs were there' and it works fairly well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea. We're doing a family storytime "What can you do with a stick" & food on a stick is perfect. Sandy W./Lincoln, NE
