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.
The more we get together
Together, together
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
Cause your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we get together
The happier we'll be

Song: Do you love me? (to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Tell me Daddy is it true,
Do you love me like I love you?
Do you love me if I'm bad?
Do you love me if I'm mad?
Yes my darling, I sure do!
Now and always I love you.
Book: My Father Knows the Names of Things by Jane Yolen
Rhyme: Daddy is my friend
Daddy is my special friend,
The two of us are close.
I always like the things we do
And I love him the most!
Book: Me and My Dad! by Alison Ritchie
We made a picture flower out of a cupcake holder, craft stick and paper leaves. The children can add a picture at home to the center of the cupcake holder before giving it to Dad.
