While you can’t come to story time at the library, Miss Sharon brings story time to you! Enjoy books, songs and finger plays. Starting Monday, June 22, stop by the drive-up window at the library to pick up your own DIY Unicorn Mask, available while supplies last.

Fingerplay – Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Touch the thumb of one hand to the index finger of the other hand. Then touch the index finger to the thumb of the other hand. Do it over again while lifting your hands up.
Down came the rain,
Bring you hands down. While you are doing this, wiggle your fingers to simulate rain.
and washed the spider out.
Sweep your hands away from one another while hand palms are pointing towards the floor.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
Form a circle with your hands (sun), and rise your hands (the sun is rising).
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Repeat step one.

The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go Round and Round,
Round and round,
Round and round.
The wheels on the bus go Round and Round,
all through the town.
(Roll hands around each other)
The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish.
The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish,
all through the town.
(“Swish” hands in front of you like windshield wipers)
The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep.
The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep,
all through the town.
(Slap palm in front of you like honking a horn)
The doors on the bus go open and shut;
Open and shut;
Open and shut.
The doors on the bus go open and shut;
all through the town.
(Push hands back and forth in front of you)
The Driver on the bus says “Move on back,
move on back, move on back;”
The Driver on the bus says “Move on back”,
all through the town.
(Point thumb over your shoulder)
The babies on the bus says “Wah, wah, wah;
Wah, wah, wah;
Wah, wah, wah”.
The babies on the bus says “Wah, wah, wah”,
all through the town.
(Rub fists in front of eyes)
The mommies on the bus says “Shh, shh, shh;
Shush, shush, shush;
Shush, shush, shush.”
The mommies on the bus says “Shh, shh, shh”
all through the town.
(Hold index finger in front of mouth as if saying shhh)
