Early Literacy Tip
"Talking to your baby is one of the most important things you can do. You're building their vocabulary, and you're also increasing their knowledge of the world around them. When you leave storytime today, try to talk to your baby during your car ride about what you see outside."

Shape Game
Today, I hid a rainbow! You can find out about this game here.

Rhyme/Movement
Roly-Poly

Book

Duckie's Rainbow by Frances Berry
It was really cold this week and clearly the first time a lot of the families had left their house in a few days. I just talked about the colors on each page and then we tried to find something or someone in the room that was the same color. 

Rhyme/Movement
The Noble Duke of York

Rhyme/Movement
Giddy-up, Giddy-up

Rhyme/Movement
Where is Thumbkin

Game
Where is Brown Bear?
Exactly like Little Mouse, Little Mouse- except I used Brown Bear. You would have though I was handing out free candy and puppies the way the kids reacted. We played this 3 times and they still wanted more. I think I might replace the shape game with this during my next spring session.

Rhyme/Movement
This is Big

Choral Reading
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr.
Seriously, buy a copy of this for everyone in your storytime. It is amazing to see how kids run up to grab the book and then immediately run to their caregivers lap. Bill Martin Jr. was a genius.

Egg Shakers
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep 

Rhyme/Movement
Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

Playtime!
