Giraffe Fingerplays/Rhymes
I'm a Giraffe
I'm a big tall giraffe stretching way up high (reach arms up)
A big tall giraffe, I almost reach the sky (stand on tiptoes)
I eat the leaves from the tallest tress (pretend to eat, rub tummy)
And when I run, I move with ease (pretend to run in place)
I'm a big tall giraffe stretching way up high (reach arms up)
Way…up…high! (stand on tiptoes)
Art
Make A Giraffe
Need: giraffe, brown fingerpaint, clothespins
Cut the shape of a giraffe out of yellow poster board; just the body without the legs. Have the children fingerpaint brown tempera spots on the giraffe. Clip two clothespins onto the giraffe for legs/feet. Children fingerpaint feet onto the clothespins....The children love it.
Contributed By: Rosie Ortegon
Need: Orange or yellow construction paper, brown paint, small sponges, clothespins, trays.
Use the clothespins as handles and attach a sponge to the end. Put the paint on a try, use the sponge to dip into the paint and dab spots onto the paper.
Camouflage
Glue yellow strips of paper on a piece of construction paper in a design of your choosing. Provide brown circles and squares to glue on the paper to create a design. Instead of the pre-cut shapes a variety of different size lids can be set out for the children to trace on their papers and color brown
Easel
Yellow and brown paint at the easel.
