Mothers Storytime

Storytime for 1-1/2 to 3 year olds:

• Opening - Skinnamarink, Sticky Sticky Bubblegum
• Book #1 – Is Your Mama a Llama? by Deborah Guarino, illustrated by Steven Kellogg
• Activity – Do It for Your Mother (action rhyme to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" - I'm not sure where I found this rhyme)

Roll, roll, roll your hands
As fast as fast can be.
Do it now, let me see,
Do it for your mother.
Clap, clap, clap your hands
As loud as loud can be.
Do it now, let me see,
Do it for your mother.
Stomp, stomp, stomp your feet
As hard as hard can be.
Do it now, let me see,
Do it for your mother.
Jump, jump, jump your feet
As high as high can be.
Do it now, let me see,
Do it for your mother.
Roll, roll, roll your hands
As fast as fast can be.
Do it now, let me see,
Do it for your mother.
