Dinosaur Needs His Binkit! (A Sandra Boynton Knock-Off)

This is a super-simple puppet skit that I used with my toddler story time group. It would also work well for a quick skit for a preschool group as well.
It's based on Sandra Boynton's adorable book, Dinosaur's Binkit.

Puppet:
Dinosaur. (I used our not-so-scary one.)

Props:
paper napkin
placemat
scarf
small quilt


I pulled dinosaur from my bag and told him it was time for bed. He cried,"I need my binkit!"
So I had the children help me find his binkit by pulling each item from my bag until we found the quilt. After each item, dinosaur shook his head that no it was not his binkit and cried "I need my binkit!"

Once we got to the quilt, I wrapped him in it and asked if he was ready for bed and he cried, "I need a song!" and we sang him  "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."





Easy peasy.


Happy day,
Miss Lisa
