Songs:

Hello, Friends!

(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")

Hello friends.

Hello friends.

Hello friends.

We're glad you came today!

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. 

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!

Goodbye, Friends!
(tune: "Goodnight Ladies")

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

Rhymes:

Dance Your Fingers Up

Dance your fingers up,

Dance your fingers down

Dance your fingers to the side,

Dance them all around

Dance them on your shoulders,

Dance them on your head

Dance them on your tummy,

And put them all to bed.

Here is Baby Ready for a Nap

Here is baby ready for a nap.

I'll lay you down here in my lap.

I'll cover you up so you won't peep,

And rock you 'til you're fast asleep.

It's Snowing

It's snowing!  It's snowing!

How the wind does blow!

Snowflakes falling from the sky.

Oops!  One landed on my...nose!

Have fun with your little one by continuing this rhyme, choosing other parts of her body where a snowflake might land and unexpectedly tickle her!  Snowflakes might land on Baby's neck, toes, ears, back, tummy, knee, etc.

Our activity this week was Scarves!

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).
