Flannelboard: “Six Little Bumblebees”

Song: “Six Little Ducks”
Six little ducks that I once knew
Big ones, little ones, fair ones too
But the one little duck with a feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack! Quack, quack, quack!
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Down to the water they did go
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble to and fro
Home from the water they did come
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, ho-hum-hum!

Again, we worked on our coloring books!

How It Went

Six was another great number for books…though I did struggle to find extension activities for it. For whatever reason, the even numbers have been far harder than the odd numbers. I did stretch it a bit with “I Love Bugs,” but since most bugs have six legs, that counts in my book! Their favorite book was probably “Digby Takes Charge” at this storytime.
