Storytime: Halloween (2s)

With the younger kids I've often done just Pumpkins or Around the Town for Halloween, but this year my 2s storytime fell right on Halloween so we just had to have a party!

Books:
A co-worker found Brooms Are For Flying at another library and it's PERFECT for the little goblins.

Brooms Are For Flying by Michael Rex
Pete the Cat and the Five Little Pumpkins by James Dean
Five Little Pumpkins by Dan Yaccarino
If You're A Monster and You Know It by Ed & Rebecca Emberley
 
Songs/Fingerplays:

'If You're A Monster and You Know It'
'Itsy Bitsy Spider'
'I'm A Little Pumpkin'
'Where Is Thumbkin/Pumpkin/Ghostie'

Pumpkin Chant (found on 'Jbrary' - go watch it on Youtube for the hand motions!)
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin - BREAD
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin - HEAD
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin - PIE
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin - EYE
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin - CAKE
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin - SHAKE
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin - STEW
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin - BOO!

Activities: 
We used the 'clappers' to dance to some Halloween music!
