Blue, blue (from Librarian Vs. Storytime)
Blue, blue is the color I see.
If you're wearing blue, then show it to me.
Stand up, take a bow, turn around,
Show me your blue and sit back on the ground.

Boats on the waves (to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus")
The boat on the waves goes rock, rock, rock, (rock from foot to foot)
Rock, rock, rock.
The boat on the waves goes rock, rock, rock,
All around the lake.

The wind in the sails goes swish, swish, swish, (wave hands back and forth)
Swish, swish, swish.
The wind in the sails goes swish, swish, swish.
All around the lake.

The waves on the lake go up and down, up and down, up and down. (bend up and down)
The waves on the lake go up and down,
All around the lake.

The Blueberry Bush (to the tune of "Here we go round the mulberry bush")
(from Librarian Vs. Storytime)
Here we go round the blueberry bush, blueberry bush. (children hold hands and move in a circle)
Here we go round the blueberry bush,
So early in the morning.

Pick the blueberries small and round, (pretend to pick berries)
Small and round, small and round.
Pick he blueberries small and round,
So early in the morning.

Eat the blueberries ripe and sweet, (rub stomach)
Ripe and sweet, ripe and sweet.
Eat the blueberries ripe and sweet.
So early in the morning. 

Little Boy Blue
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under the haystack fast asleep!

Literacy tips: 
After you have read a story several times to your child, have them "read" it back to you. They can explain the story based on pictures and memory and you can fill in the blanks as you go. This is a great way to develop your child's narrative, or storytelling skills.

Craft: We made bluebirds :)
