Happy Mother’s Day!

“Happy Mother’s Day,” friends!  Hug those little ones and have a fantastic day.  You might try singing the following song together.

Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
It’s nice to get a hug from you
Hug from you, hug from you
It’s nice to get a hug from you
So let’s give on right now!

Smiles and hugs from Sara, Pete, Webster, Dottie Dog and the “Guys-in-the-car!”

Weekend Challenge

“Weekend Challenge”
Try this bouncing rhyme while you’re waiting somewhere (restaurant, grocery line, mom trying on clothes) this weekend.  Bouncing helps your child feel the “pieces and parts” of words (PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS).  You need this skill to become a reader.  Let’s plant the seed now and watch it bloom.

Bounce me, bounce me on your knee
Bounce me, bounce me pretty please
Bounce me, bounce me here and there (side to side)
Bounce me, bounce me everywhere (lift)

Babies, toddlers and even older kids LOVE to bounce.  Have fun!

“B” There!

Boy, oh boy!  “B” books this week.  Like…”Baby, Baby, Baby” and “The Bellybutton Book.”  Come join the fun on Tuesday (Babytime) and Thursday (Toddlertime) at Red Balloon and Friday at Amma (Babytime).  All programs are at 10:30am.  “B” there!  :)

Beep Beep!

Toot-toot-vroom-vroom-honk!  Come one and all for VEHICLE fun this week.  Red Balloon – Tuesday/Babytime, Thursday/Toddlertime.  Amma-Friday/Babytime.  All at 10:30am.  See you there!  Beep beep!

This week!

Counting, counting 1 2 3.  Will you come and count with me?  This week: Tuesday – Red Balloon – Babytime, Thursday – Red Balloon – Toddlertime, Friday – Amma – Babytime (all at 10:30am).  Hope to see you!
