Baby Bloomers, Crawlers, & Totally Tots- Valentine's Day!

Last week we celebrated Valentine's Day with our little ones.  We shared books that related to love in some ways since the concept of Valentine's is not something they relate to but we all relate to kisses and hugs!

We started with our usual opening song



Opening Song
Everybody say one, story time has just began
Everybody say two, shake your shoulders show your shoes
Everybody say three, listen very carefully
Everybody say four, and put your bottoms on the floor

Wiggles
A wiggle, wiggle here
A wiggle, wiggle there.
Wiggle your hands up in the air
Wiggle our shoulders and wiggle your hips,
Wiggle your knees and move your lips,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
And wiggle and bend
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
And this is the end!

If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you are happy and you know it
And you really want to show it,
If you are happy and you know it
Clap your hands
Follow with
Blow a kiss
Shout hooray!

Hand Motion rhyme:
Touch Your Nose
Touch your nose
Touch your chin,
That’s the way this game begins
Touch your thighs
Touch your knees,
Now pretend you’re going to sneeze
Touch your hair
Touch your ears,
Now touch your two lips right here
Touch your elbows,
Where they bend
That’s the way this touch game ends.

Movement Rhyme: Open, Shut Them
Open shut them, open shut them
Give a little clap, clap, clap
Open shut them, open shut them
Put them in your lap
Creep them, creep them
Creep them, creep them
Right up to your chin, chin, chin,
Open up your little mouth
But do not let them in!

Bubble Time with our Bubble song

Goodbye Song- We Wave Goodbye Like This
We wave goodbye like this,
We wave goodbye like this,
to all our friends.
We clap our hands like this,
We clap our hands like this,
with all our friends.
Story time has ended.

Overall all the programs went well and everyone enjoyed the books and the activities. Our Totally Tots colored heart wreaths to take home.
