Lap Sit Week of 9/21

Another week of story time already come and gone! The repeated opening still seems to be going well and I love seeing babies start catching on to the hand motions of "Big Big Big", so we're going to stick with the same opening segment for now. Here is this week's tidbit:

I did add/drop a song or two here and there this week, but here is the plan I started with:

If You're Ready For a Story (to the tune of If You're Happy and You Know It)

Clap your hands, stomp your feet, wave hello

Big Big Big

This is big big big- this is small small small

This is short short short- this is tall tall tall

This is fast fast fast- this is slow slow slow

This is yes yes yes- this is no no no

ABCs

Open/Shut Them

Open/shut them, open/shut them- give a little clap clap clap

Open/shut them, open/shut them- put them in your lap lap lap

Creep them crawl them, creep them crawl them

Right up to your chinny chin chin

Open wide your little mouth- but do not let them in!

Book #1: Can You Say It, Too? Quack! Quack! by Sebastien Braun

She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain

I borrowed a version of this song from a great YouTube channel called Jbrary. It's run by two children's librarians in Canada and their channel is a great resource for new songs.

Row Row Row Your Boat

What Shall We Do With Lazy Baby?

(feel free to substitute your baby's name and bounce, rock, or move however else your baby likes)

What shall we do with lazy baby?

What shall we do with lazy baby?

What shall we do with lazy baby?

Early in the morning

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Roll her on the bed and tickle all over

Early in the morning

Heave ho and up she rises

Heave ho and up she rises

Heave ho and up she rises

Early in the morning

Book #2: Whose Ears? by  Fiona Munro

Love Somebody

Love somebody, yes I do

Love somebody, yes I do

Love somebody, yes I do

But I won't tell who!

Jiggle like jelly, yes I will

Jiggle like jelly, yes I will

Jiggle like jelly, yes I will

 Because I can't sit still

Climb a ladder oh so high

Climb a ladder oh so high

Climb a ladder oh so high

Til I touch the sky!

Slowly Slowly

Slowly slowly very slowly creeps the garden snail

Slowly slowly very slowly up the garden rail.

Quickly quickly very quickly runs the little mouse

Quickly quickly very quickly to his little house!

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Goodbye Song

Story time is over now, over now, over now

Story time is over now- see you next time!
