Songs:

I Can Make My Baby Smile

I can make my baby smile,(or laugh)
My baby smile, my baby smile.
I can make my baby smile
When I tickle his (or her, or your) toes!

Clap with me, clap with me,
Come along and clap with me,
On a (cloudy) (Tuesday).

Come along and 
tap with me...
dance with me...
wave with me...

Rhymes:

When Cows Get Up in the Morning
(a gentle bouncing rhyme)

When cows get up in the morning,

They always say "good day!"
When cows get up in the morning,
They always say "good day!"

"Moo, moo, moo!"
That's how they say "good day!"
"Moo, moo, moo!"
That's how they say
good day!"


Help your child think of other animals and their respective sounds
as you continue this rhyme!



Tony Chestnut

Tony Chestnut knows I love you!
(point to your toes, knees, chest, head, nose, eyes,
then hug arms to chest)
Tony knows!  Tony knows!
(point to your toes, knees and nose, then repeat) 
Tony Chestnut knows I love you! 
(point to your toes, knees, chest, head, nose, eyes,
then hug arms to chest)
That's what Tony knows! 
(point to your toes, knees and nose)



Our activity this week was Musical Instruments!



















Each Baby & Me Storytime includes activities that support one or more of the five early literacy practices identified as essential in helping your child develop the skills they need before they can learn to read. The five practices – singing, talking, reading, playing and writing –were developed for Every Child Ready to Read®, an initiative of the Association for Library Services for Children (ALSC) and the Public Library Association (PLA).
