Baby Storytime--Nursery Rhymes

I really wanted to stress the importance of sharing nursery rhymes with children.  However, I've found nursery rhymes for babies are more suited to reciting or singing.

A variety of nursery rhyme board books.  Some were single rhymes, others anthologies.

What I Did:  Questions during "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe:  Do you have shoes on? Where are your shoes? Can you kick your legs?  Parent help your child "jump"!  What sound does a chicken make?

Parent Tip:  Nursery rhymes are a fun and easy way to interact with your child.  Nursery rhymes teach rhymes, rhythm, and vocabulary.

Play/Social Time

We ended storytime with the parachute.  The babies love to walk/crawl/stand under the chute as the adults lift and lower it!
