Mermaids

I recently came across the book Mermaid Dance while browsing at Chronicle Books in San Francisco. Over the years, I have had "requests" for mermaid dances (by 3-5 year old children). This book could be a nice springboard for a class.

The text is simple and not filled with a lot of movement inspiring action words, but the book can still serve as your starting point for a dance with young preschool age children. As a teacher, my mind goes to ideas of swimming, diving, special attire, crowns, circling motions, and quiet dancing. 

You can purchase the book directly through Chronicle Books:
