Burnham Bunch: Spring=Mud

Spring has Sprung ???? (Oh, when will you spring?)

Read: Mud by Mary Lyn Ray the Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion

Story Board: Harry the Dirty Dog. Place a two-sided Harry, "white dog with black spots", on the story board. As the story progresses, and Harry gets dirtier, color him black but leave some white spots. When he returns home and gets takes a bath, flip Harry over to make him clean again.
Clean Harry and Dirty Harry
Craft: Clean and Dirty Harry Painting inspired by OopseyDaisy
  • Need: Construction paper in white, black and any other color for background, white and black paint, circle foam stampers and glue sticks.
  • Prior to storytime, cut out one white Harry and one black Harry.
  • Place supplies at each spot and instruct the children to 1) glue their clean and dirty Harry's onto the background paper 2) paint white spots on dirty Harry 3)  black spots on clean Harry.
