Push, Poke

A recent favorite has been from the series "Poke-a-dot!"  We have been reading the "Old MacDonald" version in this series mainly, but also have been reading "10 Little Monkeys" and "Who's in the Ocean?"  These are such fun to read.  A familiar song set with illustrations.  Of course the best part is being able to poke each of the animals and count them.  The poke spots are just plastic, but my son loves poking each and every one of these.  As he gets older we will spend more time counting each of the dots.  With each book starting at 10 and counting down, there are LOTS of dots to poke throughout the whole story.  Such a great way to work on counting down.  The focus has been on "Old MacDonald" and we were able to say the animal names and also what each of the animals say.  I normally wouldn't do all of these as one entry, but we haven't stopped reading those this whole week.  "Poke-a-Dot: Old MacDonald" is in the following categories: animals, counting, songs, and fine-motor skills.  "Poke-a-Dot: 10 Little Monkeys" is in the following categories: animals, counting, songs, and fine-motor skills.  "Poke-a-Dot: Who's in the Ocean?" is in the following categories: animals, counting, and fine-motor skills.
