Tiny Tot Storytime

Join us for the very first Ms. Tia’s Tiny Tot Storytime at the Elmwood Park Branch from 11:00–11:30 a.m. Toddlers and caregivers are invited to enjoy stories, songs, and playful movement in a warm, welcoming space. Little ones are free to wiggle, wander, and participate in their own way—busy bodies are not just okay, they’re expected!

Info: We will start our tiny tot time with a brief introduction and affirmation song. The them for this story time is Moving and Magic. We will encourage the tots to participate the best that they can. Our first song is I am Special (tune: Frere Jacque).

Info: The second song is "The Apple Tree" ( tune: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star), this song is super cute with adorable movements to help the tots prepare for the interactive story. We will stretch, shake and pretend to eat delicious red apples. This leads us into "The Magic Tree" by Christie Matheson; which encourage pointing, tapping and slow movement to encourage even our shyest of friends to participate.

Info: By this time our little friends might be a bit antsy and need to get the wiggles out. Our next song will be " A Bouncing We Will Go," which will encourage play with peers and family. We will jump, rock and stomp our way to the next relaxing story.

Info: Our last story is the Brightest Star by Christie Matheson. The gentle journey from sunset to sunrise shows even the youngest children the magic of the nighttime sky—and lets them make magic happen! Perfect story before naptime; this book encourages pointing, reaching and quiet participation and observation. We will end our time with a quick goodbye song.
