Preschool Lesson Plans - Sing! Play! Create!

I love using the Williamson Little Hands books for the Preschool age.  These books are especially brilliant for teaching a group of kids.  I'll be teaching the 3-5 year olds at my homeschool co-op this year, and I've chosen the book Sing! Play! Create! for a 14-week class.  I thought I'd share my lesson plans, in case someone else may want to adopt these for their own child / preschool group.  If you want to buy your own Sing! Play! Create!
book, click the pic above or the linked text.  Note: if you wish to use the lesson plans below, you'll need your own copy of the book.  You can buy the book anywhere, but the above link uses my Amazon Associates ID, which...you know...helps me out as a homeschool mom :)
