Baby & Me Storytime

Presented at Bellevue Public Library on April 3, 2013.

Book:
Peek-A-Boo! by Roberta Grobel Intrater




Songs:


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

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


  The Wheels on the Bus

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round,
'round and 'round, 'round and 'round.
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round,
All through the town.

Suggestions for additional verses:
The people on the bus go up and down...
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep...
The babies on the bus say, "I want a hug"...


Baby, Baby, Wash Your Hands
(tune: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")

Baby, Baby, wash your hands.  Baby's bath is fun!
Baby, Baby, wash your hands.  Now your hands are done!

Baby, Baby, wash your toes.  Baby's bath is fun!
Baby, Baby, wash your toes.  Now your toes are done!



Activities:

I Have a Little Heart

I have a little heart
and it goes thump, thump, thump.
It goes right on beating
When I jump, jump, jump!
I get a special feeling
When I look at you.
It makes me want to give you
A kiss or two!


Slowly, Slowly
Slowly, slowly, very slowly creeps the garden snail.
Slowly, slowly, very slowly up the wooden trail.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly runs the little mouse.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly 'round about the house!                                                  



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!

 
Library News: We have ONE more week 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).
