STORY TIME


Story Time Mission

Our mission is to promote early literacy, pre-reading, and pre-school readiness for children of all ages. We encourage grown ups to sit with their children, participating in the activities as able. Storytime is lots of fun and children actively learn by watching modeled behavior. So, jump in and have fun with us!

Fun with Mud!

We had a very "muddy" story hour this week! We sat on our mudpuddles instead of carpet squares and did some mud painting for our craft. See you next week for our next adventure! #maryebartlettlibrary #meblibnhphotogallery #meblibnh #meblibyouth #kidscreate #brentwoodnh #brentwoodnhlibrary #storyhour #storytime #fun #mudpainting

Literacy Tip:

Drawing, painting, and other mark making activities help develop the awareness of print, necessary for the development of reading.  During storytime, we spread out large sheets of paper and provided cups of "mud" (chocolate pudding mixed with crushed graham crackers) and large paintbrushes.  The children were encouraged to paint with "mud" in any way that felt good to them.  The goal was to fill up as much of the paper as possible..  A great follow up activity would be to have your child paint with the "mud", then use their fingers to draw shapes, letters, and pictures in the puddle.

Songs & Activities:

Song
Stuck In the Mud
(Sung to the tune of "Hi Ho the Derry O!" - pretend to get stuck in an imaginary mud puddle on the floor.)

My feet are stuck in the mud,
My feet are stuck in the mud,
Oh, no, what do I do?
My feet are stuck in the mud!


Substitute other body parts for "feet" in subsequent verses.
Song
5 Pigs so Squeaky Clean
(Sung to the tune of "5 Green and Speckled Frogs")

5 pigs so squeaky clean,
Cleanest you've ever seen,
Wanted to go outside and play,
Oink! Oink!
1 jumped into the mud,
Landed with a great big thud.
Now there are 4 clean squeaky pigs,
Oink! OInk!
Activity
