Welcome to Puppet Fun! This is an extension of my One-time Finger Puppet fun class. Every week, Aunt Sam will be presenting multiple finger puppet plays with her friend Milo the Monkey.  Each week will cover repeated rhymes, new rhymes and other activities that correspond to the Alphabet letters of the week. We will have some activities presenting the Letter sounds. If the learner has a favorite rhyme, we will include that in our weekly meeting. I will have 4 core weeks and will adjust the activities, songs, nursery rhymes, and puppet fun depending on the learners' likes and letters of week. We then will repeat the weeks, adding other finger puppet fun depending on the seasons of the year.

These Nursery Rhymes are a gentle way to introduce and familiarize each student with the letters of the Alphabet.
