Book:
Jesse Bear's Tum-Tum Tickle by Nancy White Carlstrom, illustrated by Bruce Degen
Songs:
Clap Your Hands, One, Two, Three
(tune: "This Old Man")
Clap your hands, one, two, three,
Play a clapping game with me.
Now your hands have gone away.
* Find your hands so we can play!
* Last time: We'll play this game another day!
You Are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Activities:
Good Morning, Friends!
Good morning, friends,
Good morning, friends,
And how are you today?
I trust you had a good night's sleep
And now you're ready to play!
You can substitute your child's name for "friends"
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)
Rub-a-dub-dub, one child in a tub,
(rub knuckles gently up and down child's chest)
One foot with toes,
(point to parts of child's body)
A hand, a nose,
As clean as they can be!
(rub hands together)
Rub -a-dub-dub, one child in a tub,
(rub knuckles gently up and down child's chest)
Tell me what you see.
Two ears, a cheek,
(point to parts of child's body)
So clean they squeak,
(gently rub child's cheeks)
A chin, a tummy, a knee.
(point to parts of child's body)
Rub -a-dub-dub, one child in a tub,
(rub knuckles gently up and down child's chest)
Tell me what you see.
Legs and arms,
So clean and warm.
Do they have a hug for me?
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.
Clap, clap, clap,
Tap, tap, tap.
We roll our hands around and say... "Goodbye!"
Our ExploreTime Activity this week was Musical Instruments!
On Tuesday we welcomed a new friend, Knox, and his big sister and 2 big brothers! On Thursday we welcomes Adyson and Jafet. We hope you had fun at storytime and will visit us again!
Our next Baby and Me Storytime will be held on Tuesday, April 2, 2013!
Library News: We have TWO more weeks of Baby & Me Storytime before we end for the school year. Our last Baby & Me Storytimes will be held on April 9 & 10, 2013.
Each Toddler 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).
