How wonderful it was to be greeted by the birthday girl, all smiles, whiskers, and stripes! EJ celebrated her third birthday as a tiger! Her love of animals inspired this fun-filled celebration.
We excitedly gathered new material to incorporate as we are animal-lovers ourselves. The children shared their favorite animals as we hopped aboard the “Zoo Train.” While singing and making train sounds with egg shakers, they also learned the corresponding ASL sign for each animal.
The party guests had animal tails which added to the fun of singing the book, “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?” We learn at the end of the book that it is children dressed as animals making the animal sounds!
With all the animal action, it was fun to say good-bye to our friends with a special alligator song.
“EJ, see ya later. Later, Alligator. After awhile, crocodile. Bye, for now.”
