Book:
Where is Baby's Yummy Tummy? by Karen Katz
Songs:
Let's Shout Hooray!
(tune: “Old McDonald”)
At storytime we have (child's name) today.
We're so glad, let's shout hooray!
These Little Fingers
(tune:"The Wheels on the Bus")
These little fingers go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
These little fingers go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
And now they're on my...head!
There are endless possibilities when singing this song with your wee one!
For example:
Your fingers can go pat, tickle, rub, clap, wave, tap...
on your baby's feet, back, head, tummy, knees, cheeks...
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Activities:
On My Foot There is a
Flea
On my foot
there is a flea.
Now he’s
climbing up on me.
Past my belly,
past my nose,
On my head,
where my hair grows.
On my head
there is a flea.
Now he’s
climbing down on me.
Past my belly,
past my knee,
On my foot, take
that, you flea!
(shake feet)
Rub-a-dub-dub, one child in a tub,
(rub knuckles gently up and down child's chest)
Tell me what you see.
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 activity this week was Scarves!
The little ones are always great clean-up helpers!
Library News:
This week we welcomed two new friends - Miss Seren and Quinten!
Our next Baby and Me Storytime will be Tuesday, January 28, 2014!
Each Baby & Me 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).
