Songs:
Everybody Say Hello!
(tune: "London Bridge")
Everybody say hello, say hello, say hello,
Everybody say hello, hello Wesley!
(Wesley is my turtle puppet who pops out of my apron pocket whenever we sing this song. Then he sits quietly on his rock and listens to the stories and sings along with us. At the end of storytime he says goodbye to the children, gives them high fives, eats pretend food from their hands, blows kisses, and plays hide and seek!)
Hurry, Hurry, Drive the
Fire Truck!
(tune:
"One Little, Two Little, Three Little")
Hurry,
hurry, drive the fire truck!
Hurry,
hurry, drive the fire truck!
Hurry,
hurry, drive the fire truck!
Ding!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Additional
verses:
Hurry,
hurry, turn the corner!...
Hurry,
hurry, climb the ladder...
Hurry,
hurry, squirt the water...
Final
Verse:
Slowly,
slowly, back to the station,
Slowly,
slowly, back to the station,
Slowly,
slowly, back to the station,
Now our
work is done!
Playtime Activities:
What's in the Green Box?

The green box, the green box?
What's in the green box
For us to play?

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).
