Itsy-Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Our activity this week was Scarves!
Playing with scarves is a fun way to explore colors and textures as well as play peek-a-boo!
Parents in our program love using the scarves to give their little ones superhero capes, pirate eye patches, skirts, hats, and much more! They can be stuffed under a shirt for a very silly look (and feel!) or piled up to resemble Autumn leaves!
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).
