Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are. 


Goodbye, Friends!

Goodbye friends.
Goodbye friends.
Goodbye friends.
We're glad you came today!

Cutest little baby I kno-o-o-ow

And I love you so!


Rhymes


Good Morning, Toes!

Good morning toes! Good morning toes!
And how are you today?
I trust you had a good night’s sleep,
And now you’re ready to play.

(lay baby in front of you and touch each of baby’s body parts. Additional verses can include Good morning knees…tummy…hands…cheeks…)


Tony Chestnut

Tony Chestnut (point to toe, knee, chest, head)
Knows I love you. (nose, eye, heart)
Tony knows, Tony knows. (toe, knee, nose…)
Tony Chestnut (point to toe, knee, chest, head)
Knows I love you. (nose, eye, heart)
That’s what Tony knows. (toe, knee, nose)


Our activity this week was Bean Bags!


 














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).
