Today’s storytime, our last for this session, was about hide and seek and peek-a-boo!<\/p>\n

\n

Books We Shared<\/h4>\n

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

You’re Just What I Need<\/strong><\/a> by Ruth Krauss and illustrated by Julia Noonan is a sweet book about a mom wondering what the mysterious bundle is underneath her blanket. Is it a pile of laundry? Is it a bunch of carrots? She doesn’t think she needs those things, but there is indeed something she needs, and loves, hiding there. <\/p>\n

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

Who’s There<\/a><\/strong> by Alain Crozon is a bright, colorful lift-the-flap book from France, with whimsical illustrations and fun surprises in each flap.<\/p>\n

Flannel Boards We Shared<\/h4>\n

Letter of the Day: H<\/strong><\/p>\n

We made a big capital “H” in the air, and brought out felt pictures of different objects that begin with H, and guessed what they were.<\/p>\n

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

Who’s That Knocking?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

(Tune: Wheels on the Bus)<\/p>\n

Who’s that knocking at my door?
\nAt my door? At my door?
\nWho’s that knocking at my door?
\nGuess who it is!<\/p>\n

[chant and clap] KNOCK, KNOCK!
\nWHO’S THERE?
\nMEOW
\nMEOW WHO?
\nIT’S A CAT!<\/p>\n

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

(Each time we sang it, I made a different animal sound and the kids guessed what animal it was. There was a cat, a monkey, a bird, a frog and a pig.)<\/p>\n

Nursery Rhyme We Shared<\/h4>\n

Pop Goes the Weasel<\/strong><\/p>\n

(This is a song you hear in most Jack-in-the-Box toys.)<\/p>\n

All around the cobbler’s bench
\nthe monkey chased the weasel
\nThe monkey thought it all in fun
\nPop! goes the weasel<\/p>\n

A penny for a spool of thread
\nA penny for a needle
\nThat’s the way the money goes
\nPop! goes the weasel<\/p>\n

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

“Pop Goes the Weasel” from Wiggleworms Love You<\/a> by Old Town School of Folk Music<\/p>\n

I Spy<\/h4>\n

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

Today I used my “I Spy” box to showcase some puppets we have of animals who can hide in shells or flaps of skin. We found a turtle, a hedgehog, and a snail. For each animal, I had the animal just poking through the hole a little bit, and talked about it to see if the kids could guess it.<\/p>\n

Action Songs & Bounces We Shared<\/h4>\n

We share a lot of songs, bounces\u00a0& rhymes during storytime!
\nYou\u2019ll find lyrics\/words to those songs & rhymes\u00a0we shared without CD accompaniment\u00a0here.<\/p>\n

Treasure Hunt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going on a Treasure Hunt
\nX marks the spot (draw an X on your child’s back)
\nBig circle (draw)
\nLittle circle (draw)
\nDot, dot, dot (poke 3x)
\nSpiders crawling up your back (walk fingertips up your child’s back)
\nBite, bite, bite! (gently pinch shoulders)
\nSnakes slither up your back (drag fingertips up your child’s back)
\nBite, bite, bite!
\nTight squeeze (hug)
\nCool breeze (blow on child’s neck)
\nNow you’ve got the… CHILLIES! (tickle)<\/p>\n

Here is a Beehive<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the beehive, (make a fist)
\nbut where are the bees?
\nThey\u2019re hidden inside where nobody sees
\nWatch and see them come out of their hive
\n1, 2, 3, 4, 5\u2026 (open fingers one by one)
\nBzzzzzzzzzzz! (tickle)<\/p>\n

Open Shut Them<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open shut them, open shut them.
\nGive a little clap, clap, clap.
\nOpen shut them, open shut them.
\nPlace them on your lap, lap, lap.
\nCreep them, crawl them
\nCreep them, crawl them
\nRight up to your chin, chin, chin
\nOpen up your little mouth… Buuuuuuuuuuut…
\nDo not let them in!<\/p>\n

Peekaboo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peekaboo, where are you
\nhiding in your… PLACE! PEEKABOO!
\nPeekaboo, I see you
\nand your smiling… FACE! PEEKABOO!<\/p>\n

One Bright Scarf<\/strong><\/p>\n

One bright scarf waiting for the wind to blow
\nToss it up high, and wave it down low
\nWiggle it fast, and wiggle it slow (then hide the scarf behind your back)
\nHey! Where did it go?
\n(Bring it out in the open and say:) Here it is!<\/p>\n

Goodbye Friends<\/strong> (song in sign)<\/p>\n

Click here for video:\u00a0 <\/em>Goodbye Babies (Friends)<\/em>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Goodbye babies, goodbye babies
\nGoodbye babies, it\u2019s time to say goodbye.<\/p>\n
