Get ready to shake it up because we are bringing the musical sounds to the library!
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: Chuck's Band by Peggy Perry Anderson
Song: This Old Man
Refrain: Knick-knack, paddy whack, give the dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
Book: Crash Bang Donkey! by Jill Newton
Fingerplay: Music at Our House
(perform the actions to suit the words)
Mother plays the violin
Father plays the flute
Little brother plays the horn
toot-toot-toot
Book: Jazzmatazz! by Stephanie Calmenson
Craft: Paper plate musical instrument. Glue/ staple two paper plates together, leaving a hole so beans can be placed inside. Seal up the hole, decorate the outside then make some noise! Another fun shaker to make at home is fill an empty drink bottle with rice or beans and shake it.
