Our summer session of\u00a0Infant Storytime is underway.\u00a0 Each week\u00a0you\u2019ll find\u00a0a blog post that\u00a0covers the books, rhymes, songs, tickle, bounces, flannel stories, fingerplays and puppets we shared.\u00a0 I also\u00a0throw in some\u00a0information\u00a0about the benefits of reading, singing and talking to your baby!<\/p>\n

For our\u00a0fifth storytime of the session we enjoyed a little magic!\u00a0\u00a0(We even made\u00a0a butterfly or two appear!)<\/p>\n

Below you\u2019ll find a record\u00a0of everything we shared!<\/p>\n

Fun FACT:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Imaginative, pretend play is a wonderful way for your child to learn how one thing can stand for another (for example:\u00a0 a stick\u00a0can become a “magic” wand).\u00a0 It helps your child develop language skills and more.\u00a0 Click onto the link below to read about how playing<\/em> leads to\u00a0learning<\/em>.<\/p>\n

BOOKS WE SHARED<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Butterfly, Butterfly<\/strong><\/a> by Petr Hor\u00e1cek\u00a0is the perfect book for toddlers.\u00a0 There is so much to look at and think about\u00a0with its bright, bold illustrations and the mystery of the lost butterfly.\u00a0 Lucy sees a beautiful butterfly in the garden, along with a bright green beetle, a brilliant blue dragonfly, some red ladybugs, and many more flying and crawling things. But when will the\u00a0colorful butterfly come back?\u00a0(We used a little magic to bring her back to life at the very end of the story;\u00a0not only does she reappear – she “pops up” in 3-D!)<\/p>\n

In Fuzzy Bee 123\u00a0<\/strong>by Priddy Books,\u00a0we do\u00a0some magic counting and make\u00a0different bugs appear including a bee, two butterflies, three caterpillars and a\u00a0few more\u00a0crawly critters.\u00a0 It’s a bit of board book magic with colorful, bold drawings of some magical insects!<\/p>\n

Fuzzy Little Caterpillar (& a little Butterfly Magic<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fuzzy little caterpillar crawled up to look at me.<\/p>\n

He wriggled and I giggled, friends we soon would be<\/p>\n

So I put him in a box, I did!<\/p>\n

Don’t you crawl away I said,<\/p>\n

But the next day when I opened the lid, out flew a butterfly instead.<\/p>\n
