Story time for infants

Baby Storytime Outline - Book Cart Queens

I don’t write up weekly storytime reports, as I don’t theme my storytimes, and I repeat quite a lot of content week to week and month to month. While two back to back storytimes contain different content, the first storytime of December and the first storytime of January may have many similar elements.

Generally, I think of storytimes in “seasons.” (January-April, summer, and August-December). In each season, I try not to repeat the book I use. However, the set of books used from January-April will look very similar to the set of books used in August-December. Summer is essentially a mixture of my favorite activities that work best with large crowds (especially since I will typically only present about four storytimes in the summer due to our staff size and reduced schedule). In the two longer “seasons”, I make an effort to rotate through about six manipulatives and to take about a month between reusing a rhyme or song (except for the rhymes and songs that are repeated week to week).

Some things that have changed since my last baby storytime outlines:

• For simplicity, we have changed our baby storytime name from Wee Wonders to Baby Storytime.
• The program is more clearly defined for ages 0-24 months. We used to list the ages as 0-2, and we had more two-year-olds attending the program than we do now.
• My co-presenter and I worked together to create a core outline that we use for our baby storytimes. Our powerpoint layout, opening song, opening rhyme, number of books, and activity order is always the same. We have slightly different endings because I don’t quite have the confidence to free dance at the end of my storytime (with bubbles and music), but I am hoping to get to that point in the next few weeks.

The songs, rhymes, stories, and activities I used for a 25-minute baby storytime, followed by 20 minutes of free play in January 2020 are below. Our baby storytime is for ages 0-24 months, with most children being 12-24 months old. Approximately 68 people attended this storytime, including about 35 babies.

My powerpoint is available here:

Room Setup: Doors open about 5 minutes before storytime. Powerpoint slides are displayed on a smartboard at the front of the room with words to all songs and rhymes. As folks enter, two bubble machines are hard at work in the front of the room while baby songs play from the department iTunes account.

Welcome Song: Wake Up Feet (play from 0:14 to 1:00)
Wake up feet, wake up feet
Wake up feet and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wake up feet, wake up feet
Wake and wiggle in the morning.
Continue with: Legs, Arms, Hands

Welcome Rhyme: Clap and Sing Hello
We clap and sing hello,
We clap and sing hello,
With all our friends at storytime,
We clap and sing hello!

Continue with: kick and sing hello, wave and sing hello

Focused Early Literacy Tip: The shape of the human face is the first thing a baby learns to recognize. Young babies focus best of faces and objects held 8-10 inches away.

Book: Toes, Ears, & Nose! by Marion Dane Bauer

Song: Row, Row, Row Your Boat from Songs for Wiggleworms

Body Rhyme: 1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Finders
1 little, 2 little 3 little fingers
4 little, 5 little, 6 little fingers
7 little, 8 little, 9 little fingers
10 little fingers on my hand.

They wiggle and they wiggle and they wiggle all together.
They wiggle and they wiggle and they wiggle all together.
They wiggle and they wiggle and they wiggle all together.
10 little fingers on my hand.

Continue with: Clap, Tickle

Song: If You’re Happy and You Know It (sang without music)

Body Rhyme: Slowly, Slowly
Slowly, slowly, very slowy
Creeps the garden snail.
Slowly, slowly, very slowly
Up the wooden rail.

Quickly, quickly, very quickly
Runs the little mouse.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly
Round about the house.

Song: What Shall We Do With the Sleeping Baby by Rainbow Songs

Movement Rhymes: This portion of my storytime involves 2-3 rhymes that specifically focus on bouncing, swaying, or tilting to the rhythm of the words. I talk about how these types of rhymes help develop phonological awareness.

• Tick-Tock
  Tick-tock, tick-tock, (sway)
  I’m a little cuckoo clock.
  Tick-tock, tick-tock,
  Now it’s almost one o-clock.
  Cuckoo! (lift)
  
• Five Little Riders
  Five little riders on a nice fall day (bounce)
  Jumped on their ponies and rode far away.
  They galloped in the meadow.
  They galloped up a hill (lift)
  They galloped so fast (fast)
  That they all took a spill. (tip over)

• Two Little Boats
  (tilt forward and backward)
  Two little boats went out to sea.
  All is calm as calm can be.

  (tilt side to side)
  Gently the wind begins to blow.
  Two little boats rock to and fro.

  (Bounce up and down)
  Loudly the wind begins to shout!
  Two little boats they bounce about!

  STOP! Goes the storm, the wind, and rain. (freeze)
  Two little boats sail on again. (rock forward and backward)
  

Puppet Time: Who’s in the Barnyard?
An oink, a moo
A cockle-doodle-doo
Who’s in the barnyard
Playing peekaboo?

This week’s friends: Cow, Pig, Horse, Dog, Cat

Manipulative Time: Shaker Eggs

• Manipulative Rhyme: We Shake and Shake
  We shake and shake and shake and stop.
  We shake and shake and shake and stop.
  We shake and shake and shake and shake and shake and shake and shake and shake and shake and shake and STOP!
  Continue with: Tap, Bounce

• Manipulative Song: Shake It Baby, Shake It by Rainbow Songs

Closing Song: Skinnamarink by Sharon Lois and Bram

Discovery Time Activities: Discovery Time is 15-20 minutes of free-play at the end of storytime that encourages parents to have time to talk to one another and for parents to interact with their children. I try to include a variety of fine motor, gross motor, and sensory activities that appeal to my wide age range as well as a mixture of purchased toys and items that parents can remake at home. This week’s activities included:

• Cereal Boxes and Straws
• Ball Pit Balls and Pool Noodle Pieces in Baby Pools
• Tumbling Mats with Soft Blocks
• Sensory Tiles
• Sensory Bottles
• Pom Pom Drop

Library Village: Baby Story Time

Hi, I'm Miss Kristen, and welcome to Baby Story Time!

Here are quick links to all of my Baby Story Time themes:

Animal Sounds

Babies
Bath
Bears
Birds
Bugs

Ducks

Fall
Farm
Food

Moon and Stars

Spring
So Big - Baby's Body

Trains

Valentine's Day

Zoo

Baby Story Time is quite unique, in that the focus of the program is much more directed at the caregivers than the children.  My program is about giving parents fun ideas of things they can do with their babies that encourage interaction and early literacy, and to model those interactions for them.

Here is my typical set-up:

The chairs are obviously for the parents, and most of the time I encourage them to keep their babies in their laps since we do a lot of lap bounces and fingerplays.  It is nice to have the space in the middle since some babies just need to move, plus we often have more adults than chairs!

I believe that music and movement are essential in any program for very young children, and that repetition is very important.   You'll find that we always follow the same basic format, and that my opening and closing songs and rhymes are always the same.

We typically read two or three short books (always read your longest book first!) with about two or three activities (lap bounces, fingerplays, nursery rhymes) between each one.  I always plan for three books, knowing that I may have to skip the last one if the babies are getting restless.  Our library is very lucky to have a nice selection of rhythm instruments, so I try to incorporate instruments every week, usually leaving these for last.

Now it's play time!  We have a wonderful selection of baby and toddler toys which we pull out every week after story time.  The babies can play and the parents can chat - everybody's happy!  I often chat with the parents as I clean up my materials, answering questions and helping them find great books for their babies.

OPENING AND CLOSING SONGS AND RHYMES (used weekly)

Opening Song:"The Hello Song" (from the cd "Splish Splash" by The Zinghoppers)
     - I play this song on my guitar.   It's cheery and welcoming, and an easy tune to remember.

     Hello, good day to you! Hello, we're glad to see you!
     Hello, good day to you! This song is just for you!

     We like you just the way you are. You're special in every way.
     You're the best at being you, and that's why we sing today!

     Hello, good day to you! Hello, we're glad to see you!
     Hello, good day to you! This song is just for you!

Greeting Song: "Hello" (to the tune of "Skip to My Lou")
     - I borrowed this from a coworker, but do not know the origin.
     - If the group is bigger than about 12 babies, we simply skip it, because it would take forever!

     Hello, how are you? Hello, how are you?
     Hello, how are you? How are you today?
     It's good to see _____ here, It's good to see ____ here,
     It's good to see _____ here. How are you today?

Closing Song: "If You're Happy and You Know It"
     - I play this song on my guitar

Goodbye Song: "Babies, Bye-Bye" (to the tune of "Goodnight, Irene" by Raffi)
     - I wrote the lyrics, after teaching myself how to play the tune.  Please credit this blog if you choose to use this song.

     I hope you liked the stories.
     I bet you could stay all day.
     Maybe you liked the songs and rhymes,
     Or maybe you just want to play.

     Babies, bye-bye. Babies, bye-bye.
     Bye-bye to you, Bye-bye to you, too.
     I'll see you next time.
     (Lyrics by Kristen Lohr, Library Village, 2013)

Closing: "Thank You" Rhyme
     - I borrowed this from a coworker, but do not know the origin.

     Our hands say thank you with a clap, clap, clap.
     Our feet say thank you with a tap, tap, tap.
     Clap, clap, clap, Tap, tap, tap.
     We roll our hands around, and say, "Good-bye!"

Baby Story Time is very special to me and I absolutely love doing it.  I love being able to add that little something extra by playing my guitar, and watching the parents interact with their babies is totally rewarding.  Feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or suggestions! Thanks!

High-quality illustrations are very important for reading comprehension. With the help of pictures, the child builds a plot sequence for himself and better perceives the text.
