Hands Up High
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!
I Can Make My Baby Smile
(tune “London Bridge”)
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!
I Can Make My Baby Smile
(tune: “Muffin Man”)

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.
Goodbye, Friends!

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).
