Today’s Toddler Storytime was full of bathtime fun!\u00a0 We sang our opening song, “Clap Everybody and Say Hello.”\u00a0 Then everybody got a scarf, and we did our songs Open Shut Them,\u00a0One Bright Scarf<\/a> and Peekaboo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then we read a cute book about a small elephant who does NOT like bathtime, and how his parents eventually get him to try it.\u00a0 It’s called Small Elephant’s Bathtime<\/a> by Tatyana Feeney.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then we did a flannel story about five little piggies in the bathtub:<\/p>\n

\"five<\/a>One little piggy was taking a bath<\/p>\n

The water was splashing and the bubbles were rising<\/p>\n

That another little piggy came to join the\u00a0fun.<\/p>\n

Now two little piggies were taking a bath<\/p>\n

The water was splashing and the bubbles were rising…<\/p>\n

(keep going\u00a0up to five)<\/p>\n

Five little piggies were taking a bath.<\/p>\n

The bathtub is full.\u00a0 The piggies are clean.<\/p>\n

And the slippery little piggies get out of the bath.<\/p>\n

(count down from five to one)<\/p>\n

But the first one stayed.\u00a0 Now he has the bathtub all to himself!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We used our scarves to sing about taking a bath:<\/p>\n

This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands<\/p>\n

This is the way we wash our hands when we get all dirty.<\/p>\n

This is the way we scrub our face…<\/p>\n

This is the way we rub our ears…<\/p>\n

This is the way we rinse our hair…<\/p>\n

This is the way we sponge our tummies…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then I put on the\u00a0Bubbles song with my CD, and\u00a0went around the room blowing bubbles.\u00a0 I’m looking into a bubble machine for the library, but for now this is a temporary solution.<\/p>\n

We read another book, called Get Out of My Bath<\/a> by Britta Teckentrup.\u00a0 Also about an elephant in the bathtub, how funny!\u00a0 This book uses a shiny, slick kind of paint for the water and invites kids to help the elephant make “waves” and to\u00a0tell the crocodile and other animals to “Get Out Of My Bath”!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We bounced, rowed, wiggled and swayed\u00a0to Row, Row, Row Your Boat on our CD, and then we put on a video.\u00a0 I showed “Elmo’s World<\/a>: Bathtime” and we laughed as Mr. Noodle struggled to figure out how to take a bath:<\/p>\n
