Artsy Babies: Music & Movement Day!

5/2/2018

PictureClipart by Krista Wallden of Creative Clips. Graphic designed on PicMonkey.
About nine months ago, Julie from Tales for The Tiny shared her blog post on the Storytime Underground Facebook page about an art and music themed programming series for babies and their caregivers she had developed. 

I have been wanting to plan and facilitate a similar program at my library so I shared the post with my colleague and we submitted a special program proposal.  We were quite excited when our idea was selected!

Today's focus was on music and movement.  We did some bounces and we used parachutes, scarves, and bubbles.  This was our maiden voyage of "Artsy Babies" and I think that it was something that our attendees really enjoyed.  ​

THE PLAN

Welcome Song: Wake Up Feet
Wake up feet, wake up feet
Wake up feet and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wake up feet, wake up feet
Wake up and wiggle in the morning.

Wake up hands, wake up hands
Wake up hands and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
Wake up hands, wake up hands
Wake up and wiggle in the morning.

Wake up ears, wake up ears
Wake up ears and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
Wake up ears, wake up ears

Wake up and wiggle in the morning.

Bounces
Come Along and Bounce with Me
Come along and bounce with me.       (bounce baby in your lap)
Come along and bounce with me.       (bounce baby in your lap)
We’ll bounce and bounce,                   (bounce baby in your lap)
And bounce and bounce.                    (bounce baby in your lap)
So come along and bounce with me.  (bounce baby in your lap)

Come along and twist with me.          (twist with baby)
Come along and twist with me.          (twist with baby)
We’ll twist and twist,                          (twist with baby)
And twist and twist.                           (twist with baby)
So come along and twist with me.     (twist with baby)

Come along and tickle with me.        (tickle baby)
Come along and tickle with me.        (tickle baby)
We’ll tickle and tickle,                       (tickle baby)
And tickle and tickle.                         (tickle baby)
So come along and tickle with me.    (tickle baby)


I Bounce You Here, I Bounce You There
*Note: The version that I like to use comes from Read Sing Play Blog but I use the rhythmic pattern from this video.
I bounce you here, I bounce you there, (bounce child on knees)
I bounce you, bounce you, everywhere.
I tickle you here, tickle you there, (gently tickle child)
I tickle you, tickle you, everywhere.
I hug you here, I hug you there, (hug child)
I hug you, hug you, everywhere!
Parachute Activities
Toast in the Toaster
I'm toast in the toaster
and I'm getting very hot!
Tick, tock, Tick, tock
Up I pop!
Let's Go Riding in an Elevator
Let's go riding on an elevator,
Elevator, elevator,
Let's go riding on an elevator,
Come along with me!
First floor,
Second floor,
Third floor,
Fourth floor,
Fifth floor,
And.... down-down-down-down-down.
We Wiggle and Wiggle and Stop
 Note: I like to sing this one to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell"

We wiggle and wiggle and stop
We wiggle and wiggle and stop
We wiggle and wiggle and wiggle and wiggle
​and wiggle and wiggle and stop
Scarf Activities
Dancing Scarf Blues
Picture
Put your scarf to the side 
Then back the other way 
Keep your scarf a-moving 
Now you can sway

Chorus: 
You've got the blues,
you've got the dancing scarf blues, Yeah! 
Just keep your scarf a-moving,
​you've got the dancing scarf blues.

Put your scarf to the front 
And then to the back 
Keep your scarf a-moving 
Don't you give me no slack
Chorus
Bridge: 
Twirl your scarf around, your head around 
Your hips around, too, then FREEZE! 
It's called the Dancing Scarf Blues. 
Then jump up and down, and up'n'down 
And up'n'down, FREEZE! 
Don't move a muscle, I'm watching you!

Shake your scarf way up high 
Then shake it down low. 
Shake up'n'down and up'n'down 
Look at you go!
Peek-a-Boo
To the tune of "Are You Sleeping?"

Peek a boo, peek a boo
I see you, I see you
I see your button nose,
I see your tiny toes
I see you, peek a boo
We Wave Our Scarves Together
We wave our scarves together
We wave our scarves together
We wave our scarves together
because it's fun to do.
Wave them up high
Wave them down low
Wave them in the middle
Because it's fun to do.
Bubbles
We listened to some fun kids' music as we played with the bubble wands and had the bubble machine going.
Goodbye Song: We Wave Goodbye Like This
 *Note: There is a couple of different ways you can sing this song .  I have put the lyrics of the version that we used below.  This is to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell"

We wave goodbye like this
We wave goodbye like this
We clap our hands for all our friends
We wave goodbye like this
