SLP 2017: Caterpillars Storytime: May 30 & June 1, 2017

This Caterpillars Storytime, for babies from birth-24 months, was presented at Bellevue Public Library on May 30 and June 1, 2017.

Book:

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr, illustrated by Eric Carle










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. 


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!

(During storytime we like to bring our hands out from their hiding place by saying,
"One, Two, Three... Ta-Da!")



I Can Make My Baby Smile
(tune: "Do You Know the Muffin Man?")

I can make my baby smile,
my baby smile, my baby smile.
I can make my baby smile
when I tickle your toes!

Additional verses:
when I tickle your... ear, tummy, feet, nose, neck, etc.


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

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



Action Rhymes:

'Round and 'Round The Garden

'Round and 'round the garden
(run fingers lightly on Baby's tummy or back) 
goes the little mouse.
Up, up, up he creeps,
(walk fingers up Baby's body)
up into his house!
(tickle under Baby's arm)

'Round and 'round the garden

(run fingers lightly on Baby's tummy or back) 
goes the teddy bear.
One step, two steps,
(walk fingers up Baby's body)
Tickle you there!
(tickle Baby's neck)


Tony Chestnut

Tony Chestnut
(point to toe, knee, chest, and head)
Knows I love you
(point to nose and eye, then give Baby a hug)
Tony knows,
(point to toe, knee, and nose)
Tony knows!
(point to toe, knee, and nose)
Tony Chestnut
(point to toe, knee, chest, and head)
Knows I love you
(point to nose and eye, then hug self)
That's what Tony knows!

(point to toe, knee, and nose)


Play:Our enrichment activity this week was hand puppets!













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).
