Here’s another baby storytime! I borrowed half of it from one of my Mother Goose <\/a> storytimes. <\/p>\n

OPENING SONG: Hello Song*<\/strong><\/p>\n

OPENING FINGERPLAY: Open Them Shut Them*<\/strong><\/p>\n

BOOK: Duckie’s Rainbow<\/strong> by BARRY
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

FLANNEL SONG: If It’s Raining Outside<\/a><\/strong>
\nSing to: If You’re Happy and You Know It<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If it’s raining outside, wear your boots,
\nIf it’s raining outside, wear your boots,
\nIf it’s raining outside, then your boots will keep you dry
\nIf it’s raining outside, wear your boots.<\/p>\n

…wear your coat
\n…wear your hat
\n…bring your umbella<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FLANNEL SONG: Down Around the Corner<\/strong>
\nSing to: Five Little Ducks Went Out to Play<\/em>
\n\"Photo<\/a><\/p>\n

Down around the corner at the neighborhood shop
\nWere five umbrellas with their points on top
\nAlong came someone with a nickel to pay
\nAnd they bought the blue umbrella and they took it away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FLANNEL SONG: A Hunting We Will Go*<\/strong>
\nToday we used animals that don’t mind getting wet, like frog\/log, fish\/dish, snail\/scale, and duck\/truck.<\/em><\/p>\n

LITERACY TIP: Singing<\/strong>
\nOne of the things that happens when you sing simple nursery rhymes to your children is that they gain practice listening to simple sentence structures. Hearing the same short sentences over and over helps children recognize the patterns that our sentences form.<\/em><\/p>\n

BOOK: Rain<\/strong> by ROZANNE WILLIAMS
\nThis is a big book from Creative Teaching Press that I found in our outreach collection. It’s the little nursery rhyme that goes, “Rain on the green grass, rain on the tree…” It has simple cut-paper illustrations and is great for baby storytime.<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

BOUNCE: One Misty Moisty Morning<\/strong>
\nHave the grownups bounce their babies on their laps, then gently grab their babies’ chins when you say “strap beneath his chin.”<\/em><\/p>\n

One misty moisty morning
\nWhen cloudy was the weather
\nI chanced to meet an old man
\nClothed all in leather<\/p>\n

Clothed all in leather
\nWith a strap beneath his chin
\nHow do you do and how do you do
\nAnd how do you do again?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ACTION SONG: The Itsy Bitsy Spider<\/strong><\/p>\n

ACTION RHYME: This is Big Big Big*<\/strong> <\/p>\n

CLOSING SONG: Sneeze Game*<\/strong> <\/p>\n
