If you've been following the storytime and standards series, you've been reading me say I'd be posting individual plans. Today is the day!
Theme: Adults Who Love You
Song: Hey, Hey, How Do You Do [Learning Groove] (I edited this for the library and we sing it acapella)
Rhyme/Movement: Hands Are Clapping [Brooke, Jbrary] (while I don't mind singing for an entire storytime, I like to give less enthusiastic singers a rest, so we just chant this one rather than sing it)
Book: Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton [library]
Action Song: Love Grows [KCLS]
Song: Skinnamarink [Sharon, Lois, and Bram] (I only explain the actions for the refrain with the littles, so we can point at our eyes, and have cuddles, and wiggle/wave our arms around)
Book: Huggy Kissy by Leslie Patricelli [library] or My Aunt Came Back by Pat Cummings [library]
Bounce: Up Up Up [Mel]
Book: I Love You Through and Through by Bernadette Rosetti-Shustak [library]
Fingerplay: This is Big, Big, Big [Mel]
Song: I'm a Book Baby [Denver Public Library]
Free play. During free play I get out a basket of developmentally appropriate toys that get more frequent baths than the general library toys, and are only used for this program. Since it's impossible to keep everything out of baby and toddler mouths, this helps us all stay healthy but play the way we were designed. I also have a staff member from ECFE who attends every storytime to share about ECFE classes and programs. She also brings a baby scale with, so parents can get weight checks between their well child doctor visits.
