This is the last week of Baby Lap Time for the Fall, and I'm actually kind of sad to see it go. I will be glad not to be doing quite so many programs in a week, but this program was something I devoted a lot of time and energy to, and it went by much more quickly than I expected. Here's what we did today (and will do twice more tomorrow) for our last session:
Opening Song: Clap Along With Me
Rhyme: This is Big, Big, Big
Rhyme: Where Oh Where Are Baby's Fingers?
Song: Tony Chestnut
Book: Hello, Toucan by DwellStudio (2011)
A nice, new lift-the-flap book about the rainforest. Bold illustrations and simple text which greets each rainforest animal at the start of a new day.
Song: Head and Shoulders
Song: Bumpin' Up and Down in my Little Red Wagon
Book: Dress Up Peekaboo! by Charlie Gardner, Dave King, and Rachael Parfitt (2007)
I thought this would work well in the week leading up to Halloween. This is one of my favorite baby books.
Shaker Egg Song: Shortnin' Bread
Flannel Board Song: Five Little Pumpkins
Song: Brown Squirrel
Song: The Itsy-Bitsy Spider
Song: Mr. Sun
Song: ABCD Medley
Goodbye Song: Open, Shut Them (Goodbye Version)
Check back tomorrow for my lap time wrap-up post!
