Goodnight Moon Storytelling Basket

Thursday, March 3, 2016

Oh my, Goodnight Moon is one of my kids favourite and I can’t wait to share with you the contents of our storytelling basket!  I assembled it over the weekend and both Vito and Mavi are having fun tinkering and exploring the objects.

I read this book every night.  It’s calming, relaxing… makes them ponder what’s out there in the night, letting them observe their room and the silence of the night.  And may I just say, there is so much love in the story.  The old lady as I would always say to the boys, is lovingly watching her little kid go to sleep, just like most Mommies do!

Goodnight Moon Storytelling Basket
So this is our story basket where I placed all of our objects and the book. I've placed this on the top of the shelf. Some of the items here are small so I need to assist and supervise whenever they play with it. Items here were from the following Playmobil playsets:
  • Playmobil Dining Room
  • Playmobil Children’s Bedroom
  • Playmobil Master Bedroom
The clock was from Amazon, the moon is a DIY, the kittens were from Safari Toob Domestic Cats  and the bears were from Learning Resources counting bears.

Now, we’ve read this book a hundred times LOL.  Vito knows this by heart.  So he knows each of the objects in the book and he was quite fascinated that he gets to see them and touch them!  Take a look at our three little bears sitting on chairs, the comb, brush and the bowl full of mash!

He obviously loves the bears!

But his favourite of all was the clock!  Now I highly suggest that you read the book to your child first.  Give it a week of reading before starting the storytelling basket as there might be times they’ll get distracted of the toys.  When that happens, just allow your child to play with it for as long as he wants.

Vito can’t take his eyes from this clock so we have to pause and explore this. We talked about the numbers and hands and he was fascinated!

I hope you like this post.  It  will give you an idea on how to put fun into your reading time. 

We previously had the Papa Please Get the Moon For Me and it was also a hit!

We also had another (Before Five In a Row) activity and you can read more about it here, Before FIAR: Goodnight Moon Unit.  For the materials used with the activity you can get them here, Goodnight Moon Math Activities Learning Pack and Goodnight Moon Early Literacy Learning Pack.
