Welcome to Storytime!

Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a
one-horse open sleigh! (2x)
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way!
Bells on bobtail ring,
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!

Our Hands Say Goodbye

Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap,

We roll our hands around and say... "Let's do it again!"

Our ExploreTime Activity this week was Puppets!
It was great fun to enjoy puppets with our little ones today! Animal puppets can meow, oink and bark, they can crawl, swim and hop, and they come in every color of the rainbow!

Throughout the month of December I have been sharing some insights with parents and caregivers about the importance of talking to and with their children. This month will offer many opportunities to introduce rich vocabulary as you describe some of what your child is seeing, hearing and experiencing: "crispy, crunchy snow" (if and when it comes!), "twinkling lights", the deep resonating "Ho! Ho! Ho!" of Santa at the mall, the "stiff, prickly pine needles on the tree", etc. Children will delight in the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the holidays, especially when they experience it with you!
Next Wednesday, December 19 will be our last Baby & Me Storytime for the year. We will resume on January 9, 2013!
