Hello, friends! We’re so happy you’re here with us today. We’re going to have a fun time together. Are you ready for a story? Let’s get started!
Today, we’re going to read a story about a little bear named Corduroy. Corduroy is a cute teddy bear who lives in a big store. He wears green overalls, but oh no! One of his buttons is missing!
Corduroy wants to find his missing button. He thinks if he finds it, someone will take him home. So, he goes on a little adventure around the store. He climbs up and down, looking everywhere for his button. Can you imagine a teddy bear exploring a big store? How fun!
While Corduroy is searching, a little girl named Lisa sees him. She thinks Corduroy is very special, even without his button. Lisa decides she wants to take Corduroy home. Isn’t that nice?
Lisa brings Corduroy home and sews a new button on his overalls. Corduroy is so happy to have a new friend and a new button. Now, he has a cozy home and someone who loves him just the way he is.
This story teaches us that it’s okay to be different. Just like Corduroy, we are all special in our own way. And sometimes, we find friends who love us just as we are. Isn’t that wonderful?
Do you have a favorite toy or stuffed animal like Corduroy? What adventures do you think they would have if they could explore? Share your thoughts with someone you love!
Thanks for joining us for story time. We hope you had fun! See you next time!
Button Hunt Adventure: Just like Corduroy went on an adventure to find his button, let’s go on a button hunt! Gather some buttons or small objects and hide them around the room or playground. Ask the children to find them, just like Corduroy did. After the hunt, discuss how it felt to search for something and how Corduroy might have felt during his adventure.
Create Your Own Corduroy: Provide each child with a paper cutout of a teddy bear and some craft materials like buttons, fabric scraps, and markers. Encourage them to decorate their bear, giving it a unique look. Ask them to think about what makes their bear special and share their creations with the class. This activity helps children understand that everyone is unique and special in their own way.
Story Time with a Friend: Encourage the children to bring their favorite toy or stuffed animal to class. Have them sit in a circle and share a short story about an adventure their toy might have, just like Corduroy. This activity helps children use their imagination and understand the concept of friendship and acceptance.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
