Books:
Little Bee by Edward Gibbs
This was a good length for a toddler read-aloud. Not their favorite book ever but they did listen pretty intently.
Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr.
I couldn't find another bee book I liked and I didn't have time to order an insect book so I read this and justified it by saying it was a rhyming book (bee and see), which was a stretch. But the kids really enjoyed this book. They loved the unique animals (ie. macaroni penguin and whooping crane) and they were all excited to point out their favorites at the end of story. One little boy liked it so much that he checked it out after storytime.
Rhyme:
Start with five bees and some flowers on the flannelboard.
5 little bees buzzing through the flowers,
5 little bees buzzing through the flowers,
5 little bees buzzing through the flowers,
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzzzzzzzz! (One little bee flies away)
4 little bees....
Song:
Bumblebee (Buzz Buzz) by Laurie Berkner
Dance and catch Bubblebees! (Blow bubbles and pretend they are bumblebees)
Craft:
Bumble B's
