This set list clocks in at exactly one hour. I set out a bucket of egg shakers/maracas, bean bags, a pile of homemade ribbon things, a couple hula hoops, a couple balls, my five monkeys playset (M) and also brought out bubbles (B) and the parachute (P) during certain songs. I had a small crew-- just 3 littles and their caregivers, but the kids kept their attention the entire hour, which was pretty impressive. I was expecting things to fall apart much sooner than they did.
I've got another scheduled for early December, and I hope it catches on. It is such an easy program to host and the kids and caregivers who did come had a great time! I forgot to snap a photo before the destruction, but here's an action shot from midway through. That pile of blue are the homemade ribbon things I mentioned earlier.
