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. 


I Can Make My Baby Smile
(tune: “Muffin Man”)

I can make my baby smile,(or laugh)
My baby smile, my baby smile.
I can make my baby smile
When I tickle his (or her, or your) toes!

Additional verses: nose, tummy, feet, chin, etc.



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 roll our hands down low,
Hands down low, hands down low.
Then we roll our hands down low,
Then we hide them!


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

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



Rhymes:

'Round and 'Round the Garden

‘Round and’ round the garden 
goes the little mouse.
(circle baby's tummy)
Up, up, up he creeps, 
(walk fingers up arm)
Up into his house. 
(tickle baby under arm)

‘Round and ‘round the garden 
goes the teddy bear.
(circle baby's tummy)
One step, two steps, 
(walk fingers up chest)
Tickle you under there! 
(tickle baby under chin


Tony Chestnut
Tony Chestnut (point to toe, knee, chest, head)
Knows I love you. (nose, eye, heart)
Tony knows, Tony knows. (toe, knee, nose…)
Tony Chestnut (point to toe, knee, chest, head)
Knows I love you. (nose, eye, heart)
That’s what Tony knows. (toe, knee, nose)


Our 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).
