Lap Sit Week of 10/5/2015

And just like that, the first week of October story times are over! Here's what happened at story time this week-

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: I Kissed the Baby! by Mary Murphy

Bumping Up and Down

(Bounce baby on your lap as you go)

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon

(big hug) Won't you be my darling?

(tilting to the sides) One wheel's off and the axle's broken

One wheel's off and the axle's broken

One wheel's off and the axle's broken

(big hug) Won't you be my darling?

Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes

(point to body parts as you go)

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes- knees and toes

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes- knees and toes

Eyes and ears and mouth and nose

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes- knees and toes

I Wake Up My Hands

I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap

clap, clap, clap

clap, clap, clap

I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap

And I wiggle my waggles away!

I wake up my toes with a tap, tap, tap

tap, tap, tap

tap, tap, tap

I wake up my toes with a tap, tap, tap

And I wiggle my waggles away!

I wake up my hips with a shake, shake, shake

shake, shake, shake

shake, shake, shake

I wake up my hips with a shake, shake, shake

And I wiggle my waggles away!

Book #2: Baby Loves Fall! by Karen Katz

Lift One Foot

Lift one foot and then the other,

Lift one foot and then the other,

Lift one foot and then the other,

Lift them both together!

Lift one arm and then the other,

Lift one arm and then the other,

Lift one arm and then the other,

Lift them both together!

Roly Poly

(roll hands as you go)

Roly poly, roly poly

Fast fast fast, fast fast fast

Roly roly poly, roly roly poly

Slow slow slow, slow slow slow

Roly poly, roly poly

up up up, up up up

Roly roly poly, roly roly poly

down down down, down down down

Popcorn Kernels

(we used scarves to act out the motions at story time, but feel free to use a shirt, small towel, or whatever else you have on hand)

Popcorn kernels, popcorn kernels

In the pot, in the pot

Shake them shake them shake them, shake them shake them shake them

Til they pop! Til they pop!

One Bright Scarf

One bright scarf waiting for the wind to blow

wiggle it high and wiggle it low

shake it fast and shake it slow

(hide it behind your back) where did it go?

Goodbye Song

Story time is over now, over now, over now

Story time is over now- see you next time!
