Singing Baby Storytime

For the next several weeks we will be doing books that sing at our Baby Storytime!  I made a handout with information from NAEYC about the benefits of singing to babies.

We had several new babies this week!  AND we had three dads come!!  If we have one we're lucky, so to have three all in one day was amazing!  It was a large group, but it went well over all!

Song/Bounces/Rhymes

Clap, Clap, Clap Your Hands
Good Morning to You
Little Bear
When Cows Get Up in the Morning
Roly-Poly
Pat-a-Cake
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Humpty Dumpty

If You're Happy and You Know It Parachute

Read {Sing} Aloud Book

The Babies on the Bus
by Karen Katz

Shared Reading {Singing}
A variety of board books based on songs including:

The Bear Went Over the Mountain

Knees and Toes
(Rookie Toddler)

Play and Learn
Babies and parents had a fun time playing.  With such a large group I am actually glad I didn't try a special activity today.  I think many of them would have stayed longer if we didn't have to vacate the room for tax aid!
