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

Today’s Infant Storytime was a celebration of noisy, hardworking, fun-to-ride-in trucks! \u00a0Everybody got a truck to hold and then we sang a song about the colors to the tune of “If You’re Happy And You Know It”:<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a blue truck, hold it up<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a blue truck, hold it up<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a truck that’s blue, share so we can see it too!<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a blue truck, hold it up<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’ve got a red truck, hold it up<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a red truck, hold it up<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a truck that’s red, hold it high above your head!<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a red truck, hold it up<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’ve got a yellow truck, hold it up<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a yellow truck, hold it up<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a truck that’s yellow, wave it like a jolly fellow!<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a yellow truck, hold it up<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We sang Peekaboo and read the book Minerva Louise and the Red Truck<\/a>\u00a0by Janet Morgan Stoeke. \u00a0Stoeke’s series about this funny chicken is a real\u00a0win for infants and toddlers!<\/p>\n

We did a movement song called “Fire Truck” with the same melody as the song “Bumping Up and Down in My Little Red Wagon<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck (wiggle an imaginary steering wheel)<\/p>\n

Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck<\/p>\n

Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck<\/p>\n

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!<\/p>\n

Hurry, hurry, turn the corner (lean to one side while steering)<\/p>\n

Hurry, hurry, turn the corner<\/p>\n

Hurry, hurry, turn the corner<\/p>\n

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Repeat with: “Climb the ladder” and “Spray the water”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We did a flannelboard version of an old song I remember from my childhood watching Sesame Street! \u00a0It goes like this:<\/p>\n

Three of these things belong together.<\/p>\n

Three of these things are kind of the same.<\/p>\n

But one of these things just doesn’t belong here.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to play our game!<\/p>\n

It’s time to play our game.<\/p>\n

\"trucks<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We bounced to “A Smooth Road to London Town<\/a>” and then did a tickle:<\/p>\n

Hurry, scurry little mouse, starts down at your toes (touch child’s toes)<\/p>\n

Hurry, scurry little mouse, past your knees he goes (touch child’s knees)<\/p>\n

Hurry, scurry little mouse, Past where your tummy is (touch child’s tummy)<\/p>\n

Hurry, scurry little mouse, gives you a mousy kiss! (give child a kiss)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We lifted our babies up and down to the song “Cranes Reach”:<\/p>\n

Cranes reach up high<\/p>\n

Cranes reach down low<\/p>\n

Cranes reach really far, picking up their load<\/p>\n

Cranes turn right<\/p>\n

Cranes turn left<\/p>\n

Cranes reach really high, dropping off their load<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We read Supertruck <\/a>by Steven Savage. \u00a0When all the most celeberated\u00a0trucks in the city go to sleep for the night and a horrible heavy snow falls, the lowly garbage truck transforms to become… Supertruck!<\/p>\n

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

We\u00a0bounced our babies to a CD recording of “Wheels on the Bus,” did some songs with our song cube and sang goodbye. \u00a0Thanks for coming today. \u00a0I hope to see you all for storytime next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
