Baby Storytime 12/1/16

Book read:
We've all got bellybuttons! by David Martin

Here we go up, up, up (from Reading With Red)
Here we go up, up, up! (reach up)
Here we go down, down, down! (touch floor)
Here we go back and forth! (sway side to side)
And here we go round and round! (turn around)

I can run as fast as you (from A Library Geek)
I can run as fast as you,
I can run as fast as you,
I can run as fast as you,
Running on the spot!

Other verses:
I can walk as slow as you.
I can jump as high as you.
I can crouch as low as you. 

Grand Old Duke of York (from Perry Public Library)
Oh, the Grand Old Duke of York, (bounce baby)
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill, (lift baby)
And he marched them down again. (bring baby down)
And when they're up, they're up, (lift baby)
And when they're down, they're down, (bring baby down)
And when they're only halfway up, (bring baby halfway up)
They're neither up nor down. (lift baby down then up)  

Dump Truck (from ALSC listserv)
Dump truck, dump truck (bounce baby on lap)
Bumping down the road.
Spilling gravel as we travel (rock child back and forth)
with our heavey load.

Dump truck, dump truck (bouncing)
DUMP! (tip child backwards)  

Everyone can shake (with shakers, modified from Jbrary)
Everyone can shake, shake, shake
Everyone can shake, shake, shake
Everyone can shake, shake, shake
And now it's time to stop.
Additional verses:
Everyone can tap, Everyone can clap, Everyone can wave, etc.

I'm a little cuckoo clock (from KCLS)
Tick tock, tick tock, (rock baby)
I'm a little cuckoo clock!
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's one o'clock!
CUCKOO! (lift baby once)

Tick tock, tick tock,
I'm a little cuckoo clock!
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's two o'clock!
CUCKOO! CUCKOO! (lift baby twice)

Wheels on the Bus

10 Little Bubbles (while popping bubbles, to the tune of "Ten Little Indians")

One little,
Two little,
Three little bubbles,
Four little,
Five little,
Six little bubbles.
Seven little,
Eight little,
Nine little bubbles.
Ten little bubbles in the air.

Literacy tip of the week: Incorporate books into your baby's daily routine. This will make it easier to include as part of every day. For instance you can read a book before bedtime each night.
