Baby & Me Storytime : 9/11, 9/12, & 9/14, 2017

This Baby & Me Storytime was presented at Bellevue Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 12, & 14, 2017.

Note: Those attending Storytime on Sept. 14 did not follow this outline.  Since I had to be away from the library that day, Miss Michelle brought out a variety of toys and books and had a "play day"!

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. 


This Is The Way We Take a Bath

This is the way we take a bath, 
take a bath, take a bath.
This is the way we take a bath 
so early in the morning”.

Additional verses:
rub our legs, pat our heads, give a hug, blow a kiss, take a nap, peek-a-boo, shake our bells, read a book, splash around, tickle you, wave goodbye, etc.


Where is Baby?
(tune: "Frere Jacques")

Where is (child's name)?  Where is (child's name)? 
(Cover child's face with a blanket or scarf)

There you are!  There you are!
(pull cover away)

I'm so glad to see you!  I'm so glad to see you!

Peek-a-boo!  Peek-a-boo!
(cover and uncover child's face again)


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

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




Rhymes:

Icka Backa Soda Cracker

Icka backa soda cracker,
Icka backa boo!
Icka backa soda cracker
Up goes you!
(bounce baby side to side, then lift up on “up goes you”)


Icka backa soda cracker,
Icka backa boo!
Icka backa soda cracker
I love you!
(bounce baby side to side, then hug on “I love you”)


Jelly on My Head

Jelly on my head,
Jelly on my toes.
Jelly on my shirt and
Jelly on my toes.

Laughin' and a-lickin'
Havin' me a time,
Jelly on my belly
But I like it fine!


Our activity this week was Bean Bags!










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).
