Today we read some great books about blankets! There are a lot more out there than one would think.
Our first book was:
Blanket & Bear, a Remarkable Pair
Words by L. J. R. KELLY; Pictures by Yoko Tanaka
This was such a sweet little story about toys that are loved and lost, something most children can relate to.
We went on to recite an adorable rhyme using flannel blankets:
I once had a blanket.
It was fluffy and new.
I once had a blanket,
And its color was __________ (blue).
I once had a blanket,
The prettiest I’ve seen.
I once had a blanket,
And its color was ________ (green).
I once had a blanket,
Soft as a pillow.
I once had a blanket,
And its color was _______ (yellow).
I once had a blanket,
That wrapped ‘round my back.
I once had a blanket,
And its color was ________ (black).
**This craft was adapted from Jen in the Library.**
Our next book was:
