Baby & Me Storytime ~ January 27 & 29, 2015

This Baby & Me Storytime was presented at Bellevue Public Library on January 27, 2015.

Book:
Rain, Rain, Go Away! by Caroline Jayne Church




Songs:
Hello, Friends!
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")

Hello friends.
Hello friends.
Hello friends.
We're glad you came today!


Skinnamarink

Skinnamarink-a-dink-a-dink
Skinnamarink-a-doo
I love you!
Skinnamarink-a-dink-a-dink
Skinnamarink-a-doo
I love you!

I love you in the morning
And in the afternoon.
I love you in the evening
And underneath the moon, oh,

Skinnamarink-a-dink-a-dink
Skinnamarink-a-doo
I love you!


Clap, Clap, Clap Your Hands

Clap, clap, clap your hands,
Clap your hands together.
Clap, clap, clap your hands,
Clap your hands together.


Hands Up High
(tune: "London Bridge")

First we wave our hands up high,
Hands up high, hands up high.
First we wave our hands up high,
Then we clap them!

Then we shake our hands down low,
Hands down low, hands down low.
Then we shake our hands down low,
Then we hide them!


Rhymes:

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! 



Pudding on the Plate

Pudding on the plate,
Pudding on the plate,
Wibble wobble,
Wibble wobble,
Pudding on the plate.
(Sway gently from side to side as your child enjoys the ride!)

Candies in the jar,
Candies in the jar,
Shake them up,
Shake them up,
Candies in the jar.
(Bounce gently with your child in your lap!)

Candles on the cake,
Candles on the cake.
Blow them out,
Blow them out,
Candles on the cake.
(Gently blow toward your child's face each time you say "cake"!)

Our activity this week was Jigsaw Puzzles!

















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).
