What toddler does not love follow the leader? We did a lot of this, marching around the house, waving our arms, walking low, stomping, and singing as we went.
Find the toy is a game both kids really latched on to this winter: we would hide a couple toys while they were out of the room, then call them in, and they had to find the toys. For F week, I grabbed two frogs from our bath toys and hid them. I was going to ribbit as Little Lady got closer to the hidden frog, but she did not like that. Instead, she just searched for the frog, thimble thimble style. This game provides endless entertainment and problem-solving skills.
F is for Froggy Went a Courtin'
I remember learning this song in elementary music class and I still love it. We sang and bopped to this one quite a bit.
There are many verses and I do not know them all. Here are the first couple that I know:
Froggy went a courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Froggy went a courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Froggy went a courtin' and he did ride
With a sword and a pistol by his side, uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousie's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousie's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousie's door
Gave three loud raps, and a very big roar, uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
F is for felt face
F is for familia
Since Little Lady loves to do a familial roll call several dozen times a day during which she calls out our names and we state where the person is, it was very easy to slip in our Spanish word of the week. She loves her familia.

How fun ! I have a whole package of felt that hasn't even been opened yet. We are going to make "felt faces"...thanks for the great idea.
