Did you miss storytime? Perhaps it is just one of those days when you need a little boost with your little ones. Fret not. We have gathered some storytime resources for you at home. Follow our steps below or mix-and-match for the ultimate storytime experience.
Today’s Theme: Teeth
1. Energize with a Song
Start your storytime by singing “We Clap and Sing Hello” (“sing to the tune of Farmer in the Dell”)
We clap and sing hello
We clap and sing hello
With our friends at storytime
We clap and sing hello!
Repeat with the following verses:
We wave and sing hello…
We stomp and say hello...
You can also try making up your own verses to sing and act out.
2. Read a Book About Teeth
Take a bite out of this list of picture book tales all about teeth. From the adventures of the Tooth Fairy to silly tales about brushing and chomping, these books will have kids smiling in no time.
3. Activity: Eraser Brushing
Draw a smiling face with teeth, using erasable crayons or a pencil to add spots on the teeth.
Let your child use an eraser to 'brush' away the spots.
Explain that brushing with toothpaste works like the eraser, helping to remove food, stains and plaque germs that are invisible to the eye.
4. Sing a Goodbye Song
See you next time! Wrap up your storytime and sing along with our librarians to "Skinnamarink."
