wiggle eyes
black marker
pink and brown construction paper
brown chenille pipe cleaners
glue
Let children finger paint the paper plate with red and yellow paints. Let dry. Discuss the color change and what color lions are. Show them pictures of real lions. Discuss facial features.
Second, have the children stretch out the cotton balls and glue them around the edge of the paper plate to make the mane.
Third, they will be ready to glue on the eyes or draw their own eyes, then glue the pink construction oval shaped noses, brown construction ears in the shape of squares with top corners rounded, and 3 chenilles on each side of the lions nose.
Last, let the children draw a great big smile on their lion. Hang from the ceiling when dry.
Lollipop Tree
Get a styro foam cone place it upside down on a table and have the kids stick lollipops in.
You can color the cone different colors and have the kids stick the lollipop of that color in the correct section or so for some patterning.
Lavender sachets
Ask the children to bring in some lavender stems - they need to dry for at least one week before making the sachets or buy some from the florist.
You need : circles of tulle or organza, circles of lace (slightly larger than tulle circles), thin elastic and ribbon. Give each child a circle of material and have them place the lavender in the middle.
Pull circle up and tie tightly with elastic. Place into center of lace circle and pull up.
Tie with ribbon. (If lace is has large gaps have children lace the ribbon through it before tying.)
Lacing
If you don't have lacing items, Draw simple everyday items on cereal boxes or other cardboard. Then use a hole puncher around the edges for lacing.
Shoe strings work great. To keep from losing them tie one end securely to one hole. The children can lace with the other end.
Lamb
Paste cotton onto a picture of a lamb.
Ladybug
Make a small one and glue it to a stick for a finger puppet.

(could do some discussion and comparison of nicknames with this song. What nicknames do each of the children have? Does your mommy or daddy call you something other than your name (like I call my granddaughter Lil' Bit)....etc.
Lavender's Blue (nursery rhyme)
Lavender's blue, diddle, diddle.
Lavender's green.
When I am king, diddle, diddle,
You shall be queen.
Who told you so, didle, diddle?
Who told you so?
Twas mine own heart, diddle, didle
That told me so.
roses are red, diddle, diddle
Violets are blue.
Because you love me, diddle, diddle,
I will love you.
Looby Loo
here we go looby loo,
Here we go looby light,
Here we go looby loo,
All on a Saturday night.
You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You give your right hand a shake, shake, shake
And turn yourself about!
Nursery Rhymes:
Lazy Mary Will You Get Up?
Lazy Mary, will you get up,
Will you get up, will you get up?
Lazy Mary, will you get up
Will you get up today?
No, no, Mother, I won't get up,
I won't get up, I won't get up.
No, no, Mother, I won't get up,
I won't get up today.
Can have a discussion with the children about the word "lazy" and about how good it feels to sleep in sometimes.
On the other hand, about disobeying Mother by refusing to get up.
Little Bo Peep
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they will come home
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Boy Blue
Little boy Blue, come blow your horn
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack, fast asleep.
Could combine Little Boy Blue and Lazy Mary and compare them. Talk about why it's bad the sheep's in the meadow and the cow's in the corn.
What was the little boy supposed to be doing? Why do you think the boy was so tired? What is a haystack? What is a meadow?
Little Jack Horner
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner
Eating his Christmas pie.
he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum.
And said, "What a fine boy am I!"
Finger play:
Have children act out each animal.
The lion walks on padded paws
The squirrel leaps from limb to limb
While flies can crawl straight up a wall,
And seals can dive and swim
The worm, it wiggles all around,
The monkey swings by it's tail,
and birds may hop upon the ground
Or spread their wings and sail.
But boys and girls have much more fun
They leap
and dance
And walk
And run.
Leaves
The leaves are whirling round and round. (wave fingers in air)
The leaves are falling to the ground (wave fingers down to floor)
Round and round, round and round (roll one hand over the other)
Falling softly to the ground (softly wave hands down to ground.)
