Chicka Chicka 1,2,3

You will need:
a few stalks of celery
a few blueberries for coconuts
Fruit Loop gummy numbers

Directions:
1. arrange the celery to look like a tree
2. add the blueberries to look like coconuts
3. arrange the Fruit Loop gummy numbers around the tree

This is a great book that follows the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom format except it uses the numbers 1-100.
Children quickly pick up the rhythm/rhyme of the story and especially the line: "Will there be a place for me?"
It is a great story for learning to count to 20 and also to count by 10's to 100. If you don't want to use the gummy numbers, you can always cut out numbers from grocery story fliers or the newspaper and arrange them as you read the story.
