Baby Storytime--Mother's Day through Father's Day

Our theme for Baby Storytime for five weeks (between Mother's Day and Father's Day) was parental love.  Here is some of what we did

Puppet Play

I found a new puppet poem to use with the puppets I have that don't really"have a sound".

My (puppet) is looking all around
My (puppet) can sniff the ground
My (puppet) is sleeping in his bed
My (puppet) is sitting on my head
My (puppet) is looking at my toes
My (puppet) can kiss me on the nose
My (puppet) can hide behind me

But wherever I go, my (puppet) will find me!

Puppets used:  Dolphin, hedgehog, polar bear, turtle

Acka backa soda cracker
Acka backa boo
Acka backa soda cracker
Up goes you!

Tony knows  (point to: toe, knee, nose)
Tony knows  (point to: toe, knee, nose)

Tony Chestnut  (point to: toe, knee, chest, head)

That's what Tony knows!  (point to: toe, knee, nose)
