Llama Llama Red Pajama

Our neighborhood started a 4 year old playgroup. Every Thursday 6 four year old boys get together at a different house and play...every 6 weeks I get to host and this time it was the Llama Llama Red Pajama Day...Jumpstart Read For The Record.

Ethan and I planned lots of fun things for the boys to do to celebrate this great book...

We started off by having the boys all wear their pajamas, reading the book and talking about how Baby Llama got ready for bed, what he looked like and what he did in the story...

Then we made Baby Llama Sock puppets. The boys did a great job gluing all the right pieces in the right place.




We had a get ready for bed relay. Each boy on the 2 teams had to:

1. Put on a bed shirt...trickier than I thought it would be.









2. Brush their teeth and have a drink of water...
Some did a better pretend job of this than they do in real life.







3. Read a book...many of them actually looked at all the pages,
but some flipped through pretty quickly.





4. Grab a stuffed animal and climb in to bed...they had to stay in bed for 3 snores, that may have been my favorite part!

Finally, we read the book one more time acting out Baby Llama's parts with our puppets then enjoyed a llama shaped cookie treat.

We had a super time! Ethan is currently at the 4 year old playdate...can't wait to see what they do!
