Baby & Me Storytime: September 25 & 27, 2018

This Baby & Me Storytime was presented at Bellevue Public Library on September 25 & 27, 2018.

Book:
Rain Rain Go Away by Caroline 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. 


My Little Baby 
(tune "Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah")

My little baby is (name)
Cutest little baby I kno-o-o-ow.
My little baby is (name)
And I love you so!


These Little Fingers
(tune:"The Wheels on the Bus")

These little fingers go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
These little fingers go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
And now they're on my...head!

There are endless possibilities when singing this song with your wee one!  
For example:
Your fingers can go pat, tickle, rub, clap, wave, tap...
on your baby's feet, back, head, tummy, knees, cheeks...

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

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




Rhymes:


Pizza, Pizza, Pumpernickel

Pizza, pizza, pumpernickel,
My little baby shall have a tickle.
One on the nose,
One on the toes,
And one of the tummy where the pizza goes!


I'm Toast in the Toaster

I'm toast in the toaster,
(bounce gently)
I'm getting very hot.
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
(sway side to side)
Up I pop!
(raise baby into the air


Our activity this week was Bean Bags!















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).
