Hello Song:  We Wave and Sing Hello

We wave and sing hello,
We wave and sing hello,
With our friends at storytime,
We wave and sing hello

We bounce and sing hello…

Fingerplay: The Moon is Round

The moon is round
As round can be (draw circle around baby’s face)
Two eyes, a nose,
and a mouth like me (touch baby on eyes, nose, mouth and give a hug)

Song: My Two Hands

Tune: The Wheels on the Bus
My two hands go
Clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap
My two hands go
Clap, clap, clap
They’re a part of me

My two arms go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle . . .

Book: Making Faces: A First Book of Emotions by Abrams Appleseed

Lap Bounce:

(Tune: Farmer and the Dell)
Pudding on the plate,
Pudding on the plate,
Wibble wobble,
Wibble wobble,
Pudding on the plate!

Candies in the jar,
Candies in the jar,
Shake them up,
Shake them up,
Candies in the jar!

Candles on the cake,
Candles on the cake,
Blow them out,
Blow them out,
Candles on the cake!

Book: Where is Baby’s Belly Button by Karen Katz

Diaper Rhyme: Lift One Foot

This is a great one to sing while changing baby’s diaper or during blanket time!

Lift one foot, and then the other
Lift one foot, and then the other
Lift one foot, and then the other
Lift them both together

Clap your hands and keep on clapping . . .

Song:  Criss Cross, Applesauce

Criss, cross, applesauce (draw an x on baby’s back)
Fingers tickling your tummy!
Cool breeze (blow on baby’s neck)
Tight squeeze (hug)
Now you’ve got the shivers!

Shaker Song: Shake it High

Tune: London Bridge
Shake it high and shake it low.
Shake it high. Shake it low.
Shake it high and shake it low.
That’s how the rattle goes.
Shake it fast and shake it slow.
Shake it fast. Shake it slow.
Shake it fast and shake it slow.
That’s how the rattle goes

Goodbye song: We Wave and Sing Goodbye

We wave and sing hello,
we wave and sing hello,
with our friends at storytime,
we wave and sing hello

We bounce and sing hello…
