mps09 Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Hi all, We have the parents of a child getting married soon and wonder whether anybody can suggest a book aimed at pre-schoolers which I could link in? Thanks,
Susan Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 There's a Topsy and Tim book about a wedding, I think, and doesnt Judith Kerr's Mog go to a wedding?
Guest Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Willy goes to the wedding - well I think that's what it's called. It's about a little boy who takes his mouse to his sister's wedding, I think! Haven't read it for ages, jackie.
mps09 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 many thanks guys!! I feel a trip to the shop coming on... Any other ideas gratefully received. Cheers,
Guest Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 'Lulu and the Chocolate Wedding' by Posy Simmonds is a lovely story.
Guest Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I think there is a Katie Morag book about Weddings. I'll let you know if I think of any more!
Guest Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Hi - we used a weddings theme at the end of last term, leading from some of the children. We managed to provide a childrens suit and a couple of bridesmaids dresses. We used wallpaper to make waistcoats and used a lot of songs e.g. Going to the chapel, I do, i do, i do and some from Mamma mia etc. alongside some stories, one of the books was called 'Yuk' (it was about a girl being a bridesmaid but not liking the dresses so the designed her own). The children loved the work we did and were eager to do lots of dressing up. We also used our bee bot with the town map but made a church shaped 3d model from a couple of boxes for bee bot to arrive at the wedding and added this onto one of the roadways. Hope this helps, will try to think of what else we used.
Guest Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 A lot of our staff and some parents provided their own wedding pictures for the children to look at which prompted a lot of discussion from the chhildren.
mps09 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 thank you that. Lots to think about.. might take my wedding dress in... or maybe not... in 15 years fashion changes
caro Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Sorry bit slow to notice this thread but there is a Maisie Middleton story about a wedding, another reluctant bridesmaid story.
SueJ Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 One of the Alfie and Annie Rose stories by Shirley Hughes is about a wedding.
