Hats & Mittens Storytime


Brr the Arctic chill is in the air, time to bundle up with warm hats and mittens!

Opening Song: The More We Get Together 

*We sing and clap to our opening song.  All Stillwater Public Library story times start with this song and the children learn that song means story time is starting.


Book: The Mitten by Jan Brett


Song: The Mitten by Jan Brett (tune: Farmer in the Dell)
The mitten on the ground.
The mitten on the ground.
Heigh-ho! It's cold outside.
The mitten on the ground.
The (mole) snuggles in.
The (mole) snuggles in.
Heigh-ho! It's cold outside.
The (mole) snuggles in.
[After the last animal, all pretend to sneeze and fall out of the mitten.]
