Park Story Time – Toddler

Opening song

Book: Round is a Tortilla: A Book of Shapes by Roseanne Greenfield Thong, illustrated by John Parra

Song/Flannel: “Did you Ever See a Circle?” (Tune: “Did You Ever See a Lassie?”)
Did you ever see a circle, a circle, a circle?
Did you ever see a circle?
It looks like a ball.

Did you ever see a rectangle, rectangle, rectangle?
Did you ever see a rectangle?
It looks like a door.

Did you ever see a triangle, triangle, triangle?
Did you ever see a triangle?
It looks like a sail.

Did you ever see a square, a square, a square?
Did you ever see a square?
It looks like a box.

Song: “Mi Cuerpo” – Hot Peas ‘n Butter: Best of the Bowl

Book: Shark in the Park! by Nick Sharratt

Song: “Baby Shark”
Baby shark…
Mommy shark…
Daddy shark…
Grandma shark (knuckles)…
Grandpa shark (bigger knuckles)…
Let’s go hunt (fin on top, right to left)…
Run away…
Safe at last (hands up, wipe forehead x2)
It’s the end (one hand on top, one hand waving, switch, bring arms up to fin)…

Song: “Waves in the Sea” (Tune: “Wheels on the Bus”)
The waves on the sea go up and down, [Raise and lower arms.]
Up and down, up and down,
The waves on the sea go up and down
All day long.

Additional verses:
The shark in the sea goes snap snap snap…[Clap your hands.]
The fish in the sea go swish swish swish…[Swish back and forth.]
The boats in the sea go toot toot toot…[Make blowing horn motion.]
