Toddler Talk: 5 Little Monkeys

My co-teacher C made a pretty stellar dramatic play set for the Tods this week and I have to share!

Supplies- Brown kids sized hats, felt of various 'monkey' colors, hot glue gun, needle and thread, wide elastic for the tails to attach to (preferably brown):

If you are not familiar with the song, let me help:

5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. 

One fell off and bumped his head.

Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,' NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED!'

So...4 little monkeys jumped on the bed...you get the idea.

We set up a platform with a headboard and pillows as the 'bed' for the kids to jump on (and off of). Added some old phones (to call the doctor) and a bucket of ace bandages in various lengths (for all the monkey first aid needs upon falling off their monkey beds).

They have been LOVING it:

And an injured monkey all bandaged up:

Ouch, little monkey. Are you ok? ...NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING IN YHE BED!!
