Flannel Friday: Cookie Monster

I have only used this with two-year-olds in a Mommy and Me class I teach, so I don't have much in way of a rhyme to use with Cookie--yet. The two's just love bringing up their cookie to put is in his mouth (Love with a dash of fear. He is a monster, and that is a big mouth). After each child added a cookie, we all said, "Yummy, yummy in my tummy!"

Cookie is about 20 inches in diameter, so we had some more fun with him after circle time. I put him on the floor on top of a large piece of felt with cookie sheets on either side. The kids threw round felt cookie bean bags at the assortment of targets. I can't sew, so I just hot glued two beige circles together, filled with beans, and drew on chocolate chips. It was all super simple and very fun.
