Storytime - My Body

Books:

Here Are My Hands by Bill Martin Jr. - This is a great short picture book that covers all of the basic body parts for kids. As I read the book, I asked the kids to point out the different body parts mentioned in the story.







We've All Got Bellybuttons! by David Martin - This is a very cute story that shows that animals have some of the same parts we do! There are also some fun action cues that make the book more interactive.





Songs/Rhymes:

Hello Toes

Hello toes! (show feet)
Good-bye toes! (quickly hide feet)
Hello toes! (show feet)
Good-bye toes! (quickly hide feet)
My toes are feeling shy today (slowly bring out toes)
But now they're feeling better! (wiggle toes)

Continue with hands, face, knees, etc...

This was an ABSOLUTE HIT with my toddlers. They were so giggly and loved it!

Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

Head, shoulders, knees, and toes (point to body parts)
Knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes
Knees and toes
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes
Knees and toes!

Repeat going faster each time!
