Baby & Me Storytime

Presented at Bellevue Public Library on Wednesday, December 19, 2012.

Book:

Knees and Toes by William B. Winburn



Songs:

Let's Shout Hooray!
(tune: Old McDonald)

At storytime we have (child's name) today.
We're so glad, let's shout hooray!



  

Clap Your Hands
(tune: "This Old Man")

Clap your hands,
One, two, three!
Play a clapping game with me!
Now your hands have gone away.
Bring them back so we can play!
(last time: “We’ll play this game another day!”)




Activities:


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






Icka Backa Soda Cracker

Icka backa soda cracker,
Icka backa boo.
Icka backa soda cracker
Up goes you!
(bounce baby side to side, then lift up on “up goes you”)

Icka backa soda cracker,
Icka backa boo.
Icka backa soda cracker
I love you!
(bounce baby side to side, then hug on “I love you”)




Our Hands Say Goodbye

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!"



Our ExploreTime Activity this week was BEAN BAGS!


Special Announcement:
Beginning in January, the Bellevue Public Library will be offering TWO Baby & Me Storytimes each week!  We have recently experienced the "problem" of having very large groups for our Wednesday storytimes, so we have added Tuesday mornings at 9:15 AM. Wednesday's event will be a repeat of Tuesday's program.  You do not need to let me know which session you will be attending - and you can even switch back and forth between Tuesday and Wednesday as the need arises.

I wish all my Storytime families a wonderful, blessed Christmas!
   ~Mrs. B.
