Up up and away! We had a superhero storytime for Baby Time this week.

Here are the songs and rhymes we used:

Five Heroes
A Miss Krissy rhyme
Tune: Five Green and Speckled Frogs

One Hero who fights crime
Defeating bad guys all the time
Looking out for people just like me. Uh huh!
He lets out a mighty call, Along comes a friend to all
Now there are two heroes fighting crime

2…3…4…

Five Heroes who fight crime
Defeating bad guys all the time
Now its safe for people just like me.Yahoo!
They let out a mighty call, Out came some friends to all
Goodbye heroes, and we’ll see again next time!

Adapted from: http://www.jbrary.com/home/preschool-storytime-superheroes
Tune: Did You Ever See a Lassie

Did you ever see a hero, a hero, a hero,
Did you ever see a hero leap buildings in one bound?
Leap this way and that way, and that way and this way
Did you ever see a hero, leap buildings in one bound?

Did you ever see a hero, a hero, a hero,
Did you ever see a hero who used a lasso so well?
Circled this way and that way, and that way and this way
Did you ever see a hero who used a lasso so well?

Did you ever see a hero, a hero, a hero,
Did you ever see a hero, crawl up a wall?
Crawl this way and that way, and that way and this way
Did you ever see a hero, crawl up a wall?

Did you ever see a hero, a hero, a hero,
Did you ever see a hero flying through the sky?
Fly this way and that way, and that way and this way
Did you ever see a hero flying through the sky?

And buys you sneakers, too.
Aren’t you happy that you have
A mom who loves you, true?

In the sky,
With pretty colors way up high.

And the sun comes out-
A beautiful rainbow
Will pop out!

falling from the sky.
Here is my umbrella
to keep me safe and dry.
When the rain is over
the sun begins to glow.
Little flowers start to bud
and grow and grow and grow.

 

Thunderstorm Sounds

Rumpety, lumpety, bump!

Zoom, zam, zoom, zam!

Rustles and bustles and swishes and zings
(hug shoulders and rock)
What wonderful noises a thunderstorm brings!

 

If All the Raindrops
Traditional Song
Tune: If All the Raindrops

If all the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be!
Standing outside,
with my mouth open wide
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
If all the raindrops
Were lemondrops and gumdrops
Oh, what a rain that would be!

If all the snowflakes
Were chocolate bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!
Standing outside,
with my mouth open wide

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

If all the snowflakes
Were chocolate bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!

If all the sunbeams
Were lemonade and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!
Standing outside,
with my mouth open wide

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

If all the sunbeams
Were lemonade and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!

Up and down in my little red wagon… Going to Storytime

Lost my wheel and the axel’s draggin’
Lost my wheel and the axel’s draggin’
Lost my wheel and the axel’s draggin’… Going to Storytime

Hammer the wheel back on the wagon
Hammer the wheel back on the wagon
Hammer the wheel back on the wagon… Going to Storytime

Up and down in my little red wagon
Up and down in my little red wagon
Up and down in my little red wagon… Going to Storytime

Elevator Song
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low

Oh, the city is great and the city is grand <em>
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!

Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!

Froggies jumped low.
Froggies jumped everywhere!

Bossy Frog
Adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEqq8PfirqM
Tune: Bossy Frog

Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song

He said arms up …… Arms down
Clap your hands …… And bounce around
Arms up …… Arms down
Clap your hands …… And bounce around

Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song

He said touch your nose …… Touch your toes
Tap your knees …… Tickle please
Touch your nose …… Touch your toes
Tap your knees …… Tickle please

Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song

 

Six Little Frogs
Adapted from Six Little Ducks
Tune: Six Little Ducks

Six little frogs that I once knew,
Green ones, brown ones, red ones, too.
But the one bullfrog with the freckles on his throat,
He ruled them all with a
croak, croak, croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
He ruled them all with a Croak Croak Croak.

Down to the blue pond they would go,
Hop, jump, hop, jump, to and fro.
But the one bullfrog with the freckles on his throat,
He ruled them all with a
croak, croak, croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
He ruled them all with a Croak Croak Croak.

 

Sleeping Froggies
Adapted by Miss Krissy
Tune: Sleeping Bunnies

See the little froggies sleep till nearly noon
Shall we wake them with a merry tune?
They`re so still, are they ill?
Wake up little froggies!

Hop little froggies, Hop little froggies
Hop little froggies – Hop, hop, hop
Hop little froggies, Hop little froggies
Hop little froggies – Hop, hop, hop…

Spring
Adapted from http://www.preschoolexpress.com/music_station04/music_station2_may04.shtml
Tune: Turkey in the Straw

Sun in the blue sky, shine shine shine
Sun in the blue sky, shine shine shine
Sun in the blue sky, shine shine shine
Help me with my garden.

Rain in the gray clouds, drip drop drip
Rain in the gray clouds, drip drop drip
Rain in the gray clouds, drip drop drip
Help me with my garden

Seeds in the brown dirt, grow grow grow
Seeds in the brown dirt, grow grow grow
Seeds in the brown dirt, grow grow grow
Thank you for my garden.

 

Tulips
http://www.preschooleducation.com/sflower.shtml
Tune: Six Little Ducks

Three little tulips I once grew,
A white one,
a pink one,
a red one too.
One little tulip grew, grew, grew.
It grew taller than the other two,
The other two,
the other two.
It grew taller than the other two!

 

Flowers Everywhere
http://www.preschoolexpress.com/music_station04/music_station_may04.shtml
Tune: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Flowers, flowers everywhere,
In the garden,in my hair.
In the vase, at the store,
On the table, on the door.
What a lovely time of year,
Flowers blooming, bringing cheer.

 

Mr. Sun

Tune: Mr. Sun

Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Hiding behind a tree

These little children are asking you
To please come out so we can play with you.

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Please shine down on, please shine down on,
Please shine down on me.

Flying, oh, so, high.
They twirl around,
Then, fall down.
The kites up in the sky.
