Book:
Where is Baby's Yummy Tummy? by Karen Katz






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. 


Here We Go Up, Up, Up!
(tune: "Here We Go Looby Loo")

Here we go up, up, up!
Here we go down, down, down!
Here we go up, up, up!
Here we go down, down, down!

Here we go side to side,
Here we go side to side!
Here we go side to side,
Here we go side to side!

Here we go 'round and 'round,
Here we go 'round and 'round!
Here we go 'round and 'round,
Here we go 'round and 'round!


Peek-a-Boo!
(tune: "Frere Jacques")

Peek-a-boo! (echo)
I see you! (echo)
I see your button nose,
I see your tiny toes,
Peek-a-boo! (echo)


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

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



Rhymes:

I Have a Little Heart      

I have a little heart
And it goes thump, thump, thump.
It keeps right on beating
When I jump, jump, jump!
I get a special feeling
When I look at you.
It makes me want to give you
A kiss or two!


It's Raining!

It's raining!  It's raining!
How the wind does blow!
Raindrops 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 raindrop might land and unexpectedly tickling her! Raindrops might land on Baby's neck, toes, ears, back, tummy, knee, etc.



Our activity this week was Bean Bags!
Beanbags are fun for exploring colors and shapes.  They can also be used to cover areas of Baby's body, helping Baby to learn the names of body parts.  If the room is quiet enough, Baby can even hear the rather unique sound of the beans rustling around inside the bags.  Some youngsters and parents enjoy trying to balance one or more on their heads or stuffing them under their shirt or sweater!  There are so many ways to play with beanbags!


































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).
