Halloween Storytime for Babies, Wednesday, October 25 @ 10:30

Image
Please bring your cute little dudes in their Halloween duds! I so want to see them in their dress ups! This will be my last Halloween with them before I retire November 17! Halloween is a great time to teach babies a lot of new sounds, BOO and WHOOOO , and ROAAR, and all about pumpkins and owls and black cats. B o o k s: Peek-A-Boo by Marie Torres Cimarusti Owl Babies by Martin Waddell.  I used 3 little beanie baby owls and a big owl puppet and shortened the text. Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate. The first one said, "Oh, my it's getting late" The second one said, "There are witches in the air." The third one said, "But we don't care." The fourth one said, "Let's run, let's run!" The fifth one said, "Isn't Halloween fun?" Then Woooooo went the wind And OUT went the lights. And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight. I like to do this as a puppet show with 5 pumpkins, tipping them off the stage at the en...

Bug alert: Wednesday storyhour , June 9 @ 10:30

As if there weren't enough grasshoppers and ants and beetles in our lives already... Books My Bug Book   by Melissa Stewart, a board book. Just the right choice of the most familiar bugs. Great pix. Butterfly, Butterfly by Petr Horacek. VERY small group (it was raining, so I sat right with them and they took in every page.   Very Lonely Firefly by Eric Carle. I did this using a very small but powerful flashlight in the disco light box, turning off the lights first (It's night!) At the end, I turned on my disco lights for the cloud of fireflies and that was a nice hit.  I did shorten the book to just the animals. And rephrased a bit: after I turned the disco lights on, it was a firefly party! Bounce  by Daniel Kirk .   An enormous board book about a pretty cute... baby spider . Very Hungry Caterpillar  Not available 2015  by Eric Carle, of course.   I had the big book, the puppets, and the story cards.  I didn't attempt audience participation...

Dog Storyhour, Wednesday, July 27 @ 10:30

B o o k s The Pigeon Wants a Puppy by Mo Willems.  I intro'ed storytime by asking who had a dog.  Emma immediately said she didn't have ANY pets and she REALLY wanted one, which was the perfect set up.  Then I read the title and said, "Huh? A pigeon is a BIRD?  And it wants a DOG?"  Dog's Day by Jane Cabrera.   Her bright illustrations make her books great pix for babies.  Spot's First Walk,  by Eric Hill.  I'm boycotting  Where's Spot . The vocab includes a grandfather clock, a grand piano, a door under a staircase, a mirrored armoire... But  Spot's First Walk , which I actually did at the end, was the only book to work for this group today.  Maybe next year I'll try just doing Spot books.  Lift the flap, simple vocab...  Doggies by Sandra Boynton.  A very fun read aloud, as you repeat with each finger (hold up your fingers as dogs) the different sounds they make. And in the end they all go Awroooooo! together. ...
