Wiggles and Giggles all over the library! Lapsit Story time (1-2 year olds)

It's freezing outside, so what better way to cure the winter baby blues than with a bright and interactive song and dance-filled story time. Welcome to Wiggles and Giggles story time (Mondays at 10 am), where story time and play time are combined. We'll shake our wiggles out, sing, tell flannel board stories, read a book or two and have loads of fun. We use items such as egg shakers, streamers or bubbles to bring our story time to life. Bring your doll or teddy bear along so they can enjoy this story time too!

This week's story time topic is dogs. We will bring the story time alive by reading one or two of these books: Maggie's Ball by Lindsay Barrett George,

Spot at Home by Eric Hill or Please Take Me for a Walk by Susan Gal.

Here's our opening story time song! It really gets everybody revved up for a super story time!

Hi, Hello and How are You? (Tune: Marry Had a Little Lamb)

Hi, hello and how are you? How are you? How are you?

Hi, hello and how are you? How are you today?

Please register by calling us at 630-368-7700.

Movement Activity

Snowy Pokey (Tune: "Hokey Pokey")

You put your right mitten in, You take your right mitten out,
You put your right mitten in and you shake it all about.
You do the snowy pokey and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about.

Continue with additional verses:

You put you left mitten in
You put your scarf in
You put your right boot in

You put your left boot in
You put your hat in
You put your snowself in

Poem (By: Jennifer Hatcher )

Blizzard the snowman was a dapper fellow
with a big black hat with a star on his head.

A crunchy carrot for his nose
looks very yummy to all that he knows.

Blue diamond buttons completed the ensemble
which was quite fun and neat.

With two twig arms he waves to you
and says quite simply how do you do?

Movement Activity

Dance Like Snowflakes (Tune: "Are you Sleeping")

Dance like snowflakes, Dance like snowflakes
In the air, In the air,
Whirling, Twirling snowflakes, Whirling, Twirling snowflakes
Here and there, Here and there.
