Baby Storytime 2.3.21

This is a great rhyme to repeat over and over while on the changing table

Here is the earth

And here is the sky

Here is my love

And here am I

This rhyme is great to do after bath time or changing clothes so they can feel the variety of touches on their skin

Knead the dough (gently knead baby's tummy)

Pizza baby, pizza baby, pizza baby

Spread the sauce (smooth hands on baby's tummy)

Pizza baby, pizza baby, pizza baby

Sprinkle the cheese (tap on baby's tummy)

Pizza baby, pizza baby, pizza baby

Eat it up (kiss baby's tummy)

Pizza baby, pizza baby, pizza baby

When babies experience different kinds of different touch and movements this stimulates the system that lets your child know where they are in space and where they begin and other's end. Children with a well-developed system are better able to focus and learn in school.

Use finger puppets, stuffed animals, or even pictures to encourage your baby to make animal sounds

The chicks say "cheep cheep"

The puppies say "woof woof"

The grownups say "Shh, shh the baby is trying to sleep"

The birds say "tweet tweet"

The kittens say "meow meow"

The grownups say "Shh, shh the baby is trying to sleep)
