Heart
I put my hands together
(hold palms together)
This is how I start
I curve my fingers right around
(make heart with fingers)
And I can make a heart!
Hearts and Kisses
1 little, 2 little, 3 little hearts
4 little, 5 little, 6 little hearts
7 little, 8 little, 9 little hearts
10 little hearts and a kiss (blow a kiss)
Skidamarink
Skidamarink a dink a dink
(hold right elbow in left hand and wave fingers)
Skidamarink a doo
(switch hands)
I love you
(point to eye, cross hands in front of chest and point)
Skidamarink a dink a dink
Skidamarink a doo
I love you
I love you in the morning
(circle hands above head)
And in the afternoon
(circle hands in middle)
I love you in the evening
(circle hands low)
Underneath the moon
(swing arms to one side and make a crescent shape)
Oh skidamarink a dink a dink
Skidamarink a doo
I looooooove you
Little Red Valentine (Tune: Skip to My Lou)
Little red valentine, I love you
Little red valentine, I love you
Little red valentine, I love you
Yellow one says, “I do too!”
(repeat with other colors)
Everyone says “We do too!”
Valentines
And of course I had to give all of my little munchkins Valentines!
How it Went: Unfortunately I only had 2 children come to this storytime (I blame the bad weather). Since the children were on the younger side I did cut out on a book and added some extra songs. Even with a small group we had tons of fun.
