Introduction
Welcome to Baby Time. Please participate as much as you can while we share rhymes, songs, music and books. If your child is not happy, feel free to leave and come back another time. We will be singing each song or rhyme two times so that your child can experience the repetition of the words.
Clap your hands (Wiggleworms song)
Clap your hands, clap your hands, everybody clap your hands.
Clap your hands, clap your hands, clap your hands, clap your hands
Everybody, clap your hands!
Tap your knees...
Touch your nose...
Wave hello...
Zoom-zoom-zoom! We're going to the moon.
Zoom-zoom-zoom! We're going to the moon.
If you want to take a trip, climb aboard my rocket ship.
Zoom-zoom-zoom! We're going to the moon.
Five, four, three, two, one, blast off!
Open them, shut them, open them, shut them,
Give a little clap, clap, clap!
Open them, shut them, open them, shut them,
Put them in your lap, lap, lap!
Creep them, creep them up to your chin.
Open your mouth, but do not put them in!
Dance your fingers up, and dance your fingers down
Dance them to the side, and dance them all around.
Dance them on your shoulders, dance them on your head.
Dance them on your knees and tuck them into bed.
This is big, big, big. Hold arms out to side
This is small, small, small. Cup hands together
This is short, short, short. Hold hands with palms facing each other
This is tall, tall, tall. Reach one hand above head
This is fast, fast, fast. Circle fists quickly
This is slow, slow, slow. Circle fists slowly
This is yes, yes, yes. Nod head
This is no, no, no. Shake head
Time to share a book!
Tickles
Crawly, crawly, crawly, (crawl fingers up arm)
Up the wally, wally, wally. (to the top of the head)
Watch out little fly,
Don't you fally, fally, fally. (run fingers down to toes)
Round about, round about (make a circle on the palm of the hand)
Went the wee mouse.
Up a bit, up a bit (walk fingers up the arm)
Into his house. (tickle under arm)
Bounces
Trot, trot to Boston. (bounce baby on knee) Trot, trot to Lynn. Better watch out (lower baby gently through legs on 'in') Or you might fall in!
Trot, trot to London. (bounce baby on knee) Trot, trot to Dover. Better watch out Because you might tip over! (tip baby slightly to side)
See the ponies walking walking down a country road
See the ponies walking walking down a country road
See the ponies trotting trotting down a country road
See the ponies trotting trotting down a country road
See the ponies galloping galloping down a country road
See the ponies galloping galloping down a country road
Now see the ponies coming home all tired out, all tired out, all tired out
Mother and father and Uncle John, went to town, one by one
Mother fell off, and father fell off, and Uncle John went on and on and on and on and on
Leap frog over the ladybug. (lift baby to one side of lap)
Leap frog over the bee. (lift baby to other side of lap)
Leap frog over the tickly clover, (lift baby to other side of lap)
Then leap back home to me! (lift baby to center of lap and big HUG)
There was a turtle, who lived in a box (cup hands together)
He swam through the water, he climbed on the rocks. (swimming motion)
He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a flea, (clap hands together twice)
He snapped at a minnow, he snapped at me. (clap hands together twice)
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea, (clap hands together twice)
He caught the minnow, but he didn't catch me! (clap hands, then shake finger and shake head)
EGGS
(Laurie Berkner song)
I know a chicken, I know a chicken, and she laid and egg, and she laid an egg
Oh I know a chicken, I know and chicken, and she laid an egg and she laid an egg
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! It's a shaky egg, it's a shaky egg
Shake it up, shake it down, shake it fast, shake it slow, shake it on your knees, shake it on your toes, shake it on your tummy, shake it on your nose.
Shake your rattle baby, shake it if you can.
Shake it like a milkshake, then drop it in the can.
We're going to Kentucky, we're going to the fair.
We'll see a senorita, with flowers in her hair.
Oh Shake it, shake it baby, shake it if you can.
Shake it like a milkshake, then drop it in the can.
(tune: Twinkle twinkle)
Shake it up, shake it down, shake it, shake it all around. Shake it high, shake it low, shake it, shake it to and fro. Shake it over, shake it under, pretty soon, you'll have butter.
Pop, Pop, Pop, pour the corn into the pot.
Pop, Pop, Pop, take and shake it till it's hot.
Pop, Pop, Pop, lift the lid, what have you got?
Popcorn!
Closing: remind caregivers about lapsit bags and board books at library
Include some activity to try at home (to support early literacy tip)
Goodbye song (tune: twinkle twinkle)
Talk, sing, read, write, play
With our children every day
