Shiver me timbers!\u00a0 We had some pirate fun during our final Toddler\u00a0Storytimes of the fall session \u2013 AARRRGH!\u00a0 After reading a book about some little pirates taking a bubble bath, we blew some bubbles and tried to catch them while listening to the\u00a0Gymboree song:\u00a0 Bubbles, Bubbles<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I really had a wonderful time sharing stories, songs, rhymes and activities\u00a0each Tuesday\u00a0with all of these beautiful toddlers\u00a0& their families.\u00a0 Registration for our winter session of Toddler Storytimes\u00a0will be held on Tuesday, January 10th \u2013\u00a09 a.m. for Pasadena residents;\u00a011 a.m. for nonresidents!\u00a0 Hope to see you then!<\/p>\n

Books We Shared<\/h4>\n

\"pirates-bubbles\"<\/a>\"pi-rat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In\u00a0Jarett J. Krosoczka’s Bubble Bath Pirates<\/a><\/span> , a pirate\u00a0mommy tells\u00a0her little pirates that it’s time to “walk the plank” and take a bath!\u00a0\u00a0Action, bold visuals and pirate banter make this a great book to keep toddlers engaged.<\/p>\n

For our second story, we shared Maxine Lee’s Pi-Rat!<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span> So if you couldn’t tell from the title, Pi-Rat is a rat who also\u00a0happens to be a pirate!\u00a0 This book makes a great read aloud or lap sit with an eclectic cast of animal characters, a bit of suspense and a fun twist at the end.<\/p>\n

Flannel Board Story<\/h4>\n

Pirate Pete’s Red Patch<\/span><\/p>\n

(to the tune of Mary Wore Her Red Dress)<\/p>\n

Pirate wore his red patch ALL DAY LONG!<\/p>\n

(Switch Pirate Pete’s patch to another color – repeat with 4-6 more colors)<\/p>\n

Pirate wore his green patch, his green patch, his green patch.<\/p>\n

Pirate wore his green patch ALL DAY LONG!<\/p>\n
