For this week only Music Video Monday has been replaced by Tune-y Tuesday due to a sick little guy and a Mom who needed to catch up on some sleep while said sick little guy napped.
One Fine Face
The Rundown
In this oldish school Sesame Street video, Ernie teaches a rather scruffy but still cute Elmo the words for the parts of his fine face.
Why We Love This Video
This video is the video that started responsible Aiden on the road to being able to identify and tell us almost every part of his body (which now includes shoulders and knuckles...pretty amazing for an eighteen month old!). It is catchy, fun, interactive, getting kids to join in by singing along and touching their faces during the song, and has a great (non-annoying) melody.
Creative Extension Activities
1. Make paper plate faces: Take a paper plate, some yarn, some construction paper, some macaroni, some buttons and any other miscellaneous craft supplies. Glue the materials to make faces on the paper plates. Be sure to name each part of the face as you glue it to the plate.
2. Make silly faces in the mirror with you little person. Ask you little person if they can show you their teeth, stick out their tongue, puff up their cheeks etc.
3. Play Mom Says or Little Person Says with parts of the face, e.g. Mom says touch your nose, Mom says close you eyes etc.
The Video
Happy face discovering,
Creatively yours,
Maya :)
