Rhymes:
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
I'm a li...ttle cu-ckoo clock
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
Now I'm stri-king one o-clock.
Cu-ckoo!
(This rhyme can be said quite slowly, which makes for a gentle rocking motion. When we slow down our speech we lengthen some of the words, which helps your child hear syllables as well as the cadence of our language. When speaking, put the emphasis on the underlined words or parts of words. Cradle baby in your arms or hold him up with your hands under his underarms. Gently rock child from side to side in rhythm with your words. When you say "CUCKOO", gently lift your child into the air. For older children: have child stand and gently rock from side to side in rhythm with the chant. Invite your child to raise hands above his/her head and/or jump one time for each "CUCKOO" they hear. Continue this chant, changing the verse to "two o'clock...CUCKOO! CUCKOO!, three o'clock...CUCKOO! CUCKOO! CUCKOO!, etc.)
As I Went Walking to Town One Day

stressed beats in this rhyme.)
stressed beats in this rhyme.)
As I went walking to town one day,
Oh, it was a sunshiny day!
As I went walking to town one day,
I met a cow along the way!
And what do you think that cow did say?
Mooooo!
What other animals could you meet along the way?
What sounds do they make?
Our activity this week was Jigsaw Puzzles!
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).
