Your Valentine from me this year is another video! This shows three stand up rhymes we do pretty regularly. This was only the second time we’d done them. It works really well with a small group like this, but we’ve done them with very large groups as well and just have them spin in place or make several smaller circles with the parents around them. Lots of fun!
Librarian by day, baker by night (and on weekends). This blog is focused on my endeavors as a children's librarian, but still includes my baking experiments and other tidbits about life outside the library. This blog helps me keep track of what works and doesn't in storytime, the library, and in life. And maybe it will be helpful to others as well!

Ha! Yeah, sadly this was a VERY bad wardrobe day. I think I must have had nicer clean clothes, yeesh. I do feel very lucky to be able to wear jeans, but then I won’t work for a place that won’t let me.

Thank you for sharing this! Stand up rhymes are pretty popular with my baby storytime, and I think these will work great!

Great! I love stand ups because sitting that long makes my legs fall asleep.
