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

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."
