Baby Storytime--Nursery Rhymes

A second week of Nursery Rhymes, but this time with some very energetic babies!  They were not in the mood to sit still for songs and rhymes, let alone books!  So we had a shorter storytime and an extra long play time!

Songs/Rhymes/Bounces

Come along and sing with me
We Say Hello
Little Bear
Rub-a-dub-dub
Tick Tock
Our Hands Say Goodbye

Here is the post with all the words.

Read Aloud Book

First half of One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
Jane Cabrera

Shared Reading
Variety of nursery rhyme books including

Clare Beaton's Rhymes 

Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling
Tracey Campbell Pearson

Supercharged

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 Time

I bought some textured balls that light up when bounced.  The babies loved watching them, throwing them, and, of course, chewing on them!

I found them at Toys R Us and Wal-greens for just a dollar each!
