Nest {Out and About theme}

Nest is an "interactive story time that is geared towards children between age 0-3, and takes place at Little Bird on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 10:00. During this fun and casual 30 minute program, children enjoy songs, nursery rhymes and stories, and parents have a great opportunity to make new friends!" Join us at 164 Ottawa St. N., Hamilton, ON, L8H 3Z3
*We just had a Nest storytime on May 15, 2012.  I will keep you posted if there are any scheduled during the summer. I will still post some storytime ideas each month.

The weather has been so much warmer these days, it's time to get Out and About!

THE WIND IS BLOWING

Tune: "Here We Go 'Round The Mulberry Bush"

Oh, the wind is blowing - all over town,
All over town, all over town.
Oh, the wind is blowing all over town,
Just like so. (Child blows)

Oh, the trees are bending - way down low,
Way down low, way down low.
Oh, the trees are bending - way down low,
Just like so. (Child bends low)

Oh, the kites are flying - watch them go,
Watch them go, high then low.
Oh, the kites are flying - watch them go
Just like so. (Child pretends to fly kite)

Continue with
"Oh, the clothes on the line - flop to and fro"
"Oh, the flag on the pole - waves fast and slow"

Jean Warren If your happy and you know it Fly a kite Jump rope Ride a bike Slide fast The bear went over the mountain Row, row, row your boat Head and shoulders The grand old duke of york Oh, Mr. Sun

Fingerplays and Poems:

TICKLE RHYME: “Pizza Pickle Pumpernickel”
Pizza, pickle, pumpernickel, (wiggle fingers)
My little one shall have a tickle!
One for his/her nose, (tickle nose)
And one for his/her toes, (tickle toes)
And one for his/her tummy where the hot dog goes! (tickle tummy)

LAP BOUNCE: “This is the Way the Ladies Ride”
This is the way the ladies ride,
nim, nim, nim (bounce on lap)
This is the way the gentlemen ride,
trim, trim, trim (bounce on lap)
This is the way the farmers ride,
t-rot, t-rot, t-rot (bounce on lap)
And this is the way the hunters ride,
gallop, gallop, gallop. (bounce on lap)
