Flannel Friday: Apple Surprise!

My apologies, in advance, for the very simple post this week!

I stayed home from work today with a sprained ankle. Seems like the perfect day to stay in bed, right?!??!!

Well, being a Mom doesn't allow for sprained ankles so I didn't get to put my ankle up until this afternoon. When I finally settled onto my bed to put my feet up, I thought I would finish my Flannel Friday post ~ only to discover that my laptop has a virus! Uuuggghhh!!!

I've given up on waiting for the virus scan to finish ~ it has been hours. :o{ I have decided to try posting a blog post from my IPod.

I actually found an App for that! ;o) So here we go:

This week I made a bright red apple puppet for my upcoming Fall storytimes.

Eeeew! The apple has a brown spot inside. Oh, wait! What is that brown spot?

It's a worm!

YUCK!

But ~ he is a cute worm, don't you think? Well, as cute as any worm can be...

I'll try to post the directions for making my Apple Surprise puppet and the rhymes that I use with it as soon as I get access to my laptop again or as soon as I can sit at my desk computer without my ankle throbbing.

Enjoy your weekend!

And, as always,

HAPPY READING TOGETHER!

***UPDATE***

I finally found some time to add one of my fingerplays that I use with this puppet.

I hope you like it!

ROLY-POLY WORM

There was a roly-poly worm

Who wiggled all around.

One day he saw a bright red apple

Sitting in the ground.

"Oh! I love apples!" said the worm

And opened his mouth wide.

He munched right through the apple,

And peeked out the other side.

This next one was shared in the comments below by Steff.

Thank you for sharing it with us, Steff!

I saw an apple on the ground.

It looked delicious, all red and round.

I picked it up and took a nibble ---

Oh, my goodness!

There was a worm in the middle!

I do have another rhyme but I need to find it.

I'll post it soon so watch for another update!

ENJOY!
