Book:
Jesse Bear's Tum-Tum Tickle by Nancy White Carlstron, illustrated by Bruce Degen
Songs:
Hello Friends!
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")
Hello friends.
Hello friends.
Hello friends.
We're glad you came today!
(After singing the song through once we repeat it, substituting "friends" with the name of one of the children. We do this until all the children have been serenaded!)
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!
The Baby in the Cradle
(tune: Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush")The baby in the cradle goes rock-a-rock-a-rock (4 times)
(With baby on your lap, gently rock from side to side)
2. The clock on the dresser goes tick-a-tick-a-tock (4 times)
(lift baby under her arms and make gentle tick-tock motion)
3. The rain on the window goes tap-a-tap-a-tap (4 times)
(gently tap your fingers on baby's head, cheeks, nose, etc.)
4. Here comes the sun so we clap-a-clap-a-clap! ( 4 times)
On my toe there is a flea.
Now it's climbing past my knee,
Past my tummy,
Past my nose,
On my head where my hair grows.
On my head there is a flea.
Now it's climbing down on me,
Past my tummy,
Past my knee,
On my toe,
Take that, you flea!
Our parents seem to especially enjoy this one during storytime! You can creep your fingers up and down your child's body, stopping at each mentioned part. On the last line, you can tickle or kiss your child's toes, or help them gently shake their leg!
Bounce, Tickle and Kiss!
I bounce you here ...
I bounce you there ...
I bounce you, bounce you everywhere!
I tickle you here ...
I tickle you there ...
I tickle you, tickle you everywhere!
I kiss you here ...
I kiss you there ...
I kiss you, kiss you everywhere!
Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap.
Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Let's do it again!"
Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap.
Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Goodbye!"
