My little baby is (child's name).

Cutest little baby I kno-o-o-ow!

My little baby is (child's name).

And I love you so!

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!

Rhymes:

X Marks the Spot

X marks the spot,

(make an X on baby's chest or back)

with a dot, dot, dot,

(tap with finger on belly or back 3 times)

and a dash, and a dash,

(draw 2 lines on baby's chest or back)

and a question mark!

(draw a question mark with a dot)

Tickle up... 

(tickle baby up to head)

and tickle down...

(tickle baby down to toes)

Tickle baby all around! 

(tickle all over)

Uncover Our Eyes

Uncover our eyes, 

and what can we see?

I can see you and you can see me!

You can see your fingers, 

and you can see your toes.

You can see your tummy, 

but you can't see your nose!

Our activity this week was Board Books!

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).
