Busy Fingers, Growing Minds: Finger Plays, Verses and Activities for Whole Language Learning

Playing with words leads to a love of words! Busy Fingers, Growing Minds is a gold mine of over 300 finger plays, verses and companion activities that surround children with a word- and concept-rich environment. The subjects of the finger plays and verses are 'kid-centric' - dear to a child's heart. These include babies, animals, the circus and birthdays. The original finger plays address more contemporary experiences: a parent traveling, using a credit card or computer, going to child care and moving. The enriching activities connect the finger plays and verses to all areas of the curriculum. Make language development fun!
