We read books about rabbits and other animals that hop during our second Infant Storytime of the spring session.\u00a0 There was a also a bit of singing, bouncing and rhyming ~ I even snuck in a new bounce!\u00a0 Here are the books, activities, bounces and nursery rhymes we shared:<\/p>\n

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

Little White Rabbit<\/a> is a beautifully illustrated picture book by Kevin Henkes.\u00a0 It’s all about a little white bunny who explores and wonders what it would be like to be like\u00a0some of the things\u00a0he encounters:\u00a0 green like the grass, tall as a fir tree, perfectly still like a\u00a0rock and\u00a0able to flutter and fly like a butterfly.\u00a0 Little ones will fall in the love with the colors and clean, clear lines of each image while learning a bit about the “nature” of things in nature<\/em>.\u00a0 Bunny’s imagination also encourages baby to\u00a0play and pretend…what would it be like if…???<\/p>\n

Mama Look<\/a> by Patricia J. Murphy and David Diaz is also an exploration into the various creatures we find in nature.\u00a0 I don’t think there are many children who haven’t asked:\u00a0 “Mama Look!” or “Papa Look!”\u00a0 Just talking with your baby about the world around you creates\u00a0so many opportunities for bonding and supporting\u00a0language development.\u00a0\u00a0Each page of this book leads to a new animal or insect..grasshoppers, ants, butterflies, frogs, puppies, squirrels, and more!\u00a0 At the very end though it’s the baby bee who notices the human baby on Mama’s back!<\/p>\n
