Finger play puppets

A sweet family friend had some mismatched gloves and asked if I could make a craft out of them and use them for my class ..and so here are two new finger play puppets for spring!..one for addition and one for subtraction!

Five Little Ladybugs
Five little ladybugs climbing up a door,
One flew away then there were four.
Four little ladybugs sitting on a tree,
One flew away and then there were three.
Three little ladybugs landed on a shoe,
One flew away and then there were two.
Two little ladybugs looking for some fun,
One flew away and then there was one.
One little ladybug sitting in the sun,
She flew away then there were none.

I found this fingerplay/song on Kindernature.com for more ladybug poems and songs click here: http://kindernature.storycounty.com/display.aspx?DocID=20111024922

Five Little Bees

 One little bee blew and flew.

He met a friend, and that made two.

Two little bees, busy as could be—

Along came another and that made three.

Three little bees, wanted one more,

Found one soon and that made four.

Four little bees, going to the hive.

Spied their little brother, and that made five.

Five little bees working every hour—

Buzz away, bees, and find another flower.
