Parent Tip

When you read aloud books with your child look for things in the illustrations that you can point out to your child or ask your child to find.  In The Button Book the buttons are different colors and shapes.  Being able to recognize and name shapes will help children to be able to recognize letters and numbers.

If You're Happy and You Know It (Button Edition)

(These button colors/shapes match the buttons from the book)

Red circle (beep, beep!)

If you're happy and you know it press a button (beep, beep!) 

If you're happy and you know it press a button (beep, beep!)

If you're happy and you know it then your face will surely show it

If you're happy and you know it press the button (beep, beep!)

Orange triangle--clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it clap your' hands (clap, clap!)

 

Blue hexagon--sing a song

If you're happy and you know it sing a song (la, la, la!)

Goodbye Song

Our hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap

Our feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap

Clap, clap, clap

Tap, tap, tap

We roll our arms and say...Goodbye!

Snow--Zoom Storytime

We have decided to try a live Zoom evening storytime in addition to our filmed storytime.  Here's my first one--all about SNOW ❅  We had just three families--4 little boys ages 3 and under.

Hello!

Snow is Falling

Snow is falling all around

On the housetops on the ground

Snow is falling on my nose

On my head and hands and toes!

Snowflake, Snowflake

Snowflake, snowflake dance around

Snowflake, snowflake touch the ground

Snowflake landing on my nose

Snowflake landing on my toes.

Snowflake, snowflake soft and white

Snowflake, snowflake snowball fight!

5 Little Snowmen

Five little snowmen came out one day

Rolling through the snow they played and played

Out came the sun and shone so bright

That one little snowman melted out of sight.

Chubby Little Snowman

A chubby little snowman had a carrot for a nose.

Along came a bunny and what do you suppose?

That hungry little bunny looking for his lunch

Ate the snowman's carrot nose...nibble, nibble, crunch!

Our Hands Say Goodbye
