April 29th: Rainy Days at Baby Time
It’s a nice day for a picnic in Baby Time!
Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
Rainbow in the Sky
Author: Jean Warren http://www.preschoolexpress.com/music_station04/music_station_mar04.shtml
Tune: I’m a Little Teapot
There’s a great, big rainbow
In the sky,
With pretty colors way up high.
When it starts to rain
And the sun comes out-
A beautiful rainbow
Will pop out!
Pitter Patter Raindrops
http://voices.yahoo.com/songs-rain-toddlers-preschoolers-1412055.html
Tune: Sing a Song of Sixpence
Pitter patter raindrops
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

Boom, bang, boom, bang!
(clap)
Rumpety, lumpety, bump!
(drum on legs)
Zoom, zam, zoom, zam!
(slide hands back and forth)
Clippety, clappety, clump!
(bang on floor)
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!

Ending songs:
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
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!
Peek a Boo
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo I see you!
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo I see you!
