Baby Storytime 7/17/14

Book read: Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Bill Martin Jr.

Flying Babies
I'm a little baby and I fly high (lift baby and swing through the air).
Here is the ground (lower baby to the ground)
And here is the sky (lift baby high in the air)
Like a bird or a butterfly, (bounce baby)
I'm a baby and I fly high! (lift baby)

Baby Goes Bouncy Boo from Jbrary
Baby goes bouncy boo, (bounce baby on knees)
Baby goes bouncy by,
Baby goes bouncy be,
All upon my knee.

I'll bounce you to the left, (bounce to the left)
I'll bounce you to the right, (bounce to the right)
I'll bounce you up, (lift baby)
I'll bounce you down, (bring baby down)
I'll bounce you out of sight. (lift baby)

Baby goes bouncy boo, (bounce baby on knees)
Baby goes bouncy by,
Baby goes bouncy be,
All upon my knee.

I'll bounce you very fast, (bounce quickly)
I'll bounce you very slow, (slow down)
I'll bounce you up,
I'll bounce you down,
Then far back we go! (lean back)

Lift one foot and then the other (from Jbrary)
Lift one foot and then the other, (lift baby's legs)
Lift one foot and then the other,
Lift one foot and then the other,
Lift them both together!

Lift one hand and then the other, (lift baby's arms)
Lift one hand and then the other,
Lift one hand and then the other,
Lift them both together!

Clap your hands and keep on clapping, (clap baby's hands)
Clap your hands and keep on clapping,
Clap your hands and keep on clapping,
Clap them both together!
  
Bumping up and down (from Deschutes Library)
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon, (bounce baby)
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon,
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon,
Won't you be my darling? (hug baby)
One wheel's off and the axle's broken (tilt to one side)
One wheel's off and the axle's broken (tilt to other side)
Won't you be my darling? (hug baby)

Clap, Clap, Clap (to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat, from Perry Public Library)
Clap, clap, clap your hands, clap them now with me,
Clap your hands, let me see,
Clap them now with me!
(other verses: tap your knees, shake your feet, touch your shoulders)

Pop Goes the Weasel
All around the mulberry bush, (bounce baby)
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought was all in fun.
Pop goes the weasel! (lift baby up)

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel!

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

I'm a little cuckoo clock (from Born to Read)
Tick tock, tick tock, (rock baby)
I'm a little cuckoo clock!
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's one o'clock!
CUCKOO! (lift baby once)

Tick tock, tick tock,
I'm a little cuckoo clock!
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's two o'clock!
CUCKOO! CUCKOO! (lift baby twice) 

Wheels on the Bus
