Baby & Me Storytime: 1/8/18 & 1/9/18

This Baby & Me Storytime was presented at Bellevue Public Library on January 8 & 9, 2018.

Note: Our Thursday Storytime was not held this week due to inclement weather & school closings.

Book:

I Love You Through and Through  by Bernadette Rossetti-Shustak, illustrated by Carole Jayne Church

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 little 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 Snowing

It's snowing!  It's snowing!

How the wind does blow!

Snowflakes 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 snowflake might land and unexpectedly tickle her!  Snowflakes might land on Baby's neck, toes, ears, back, tummy, knee, etc.

Our activity this week was Scarves!

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).
