"Kindermusik F.O.L.: Last week's home activity related to reading Dream Pillow Lullaby as one type of language experience for Baby. This week's activity features a different type of bedtime story- one of your own creating. As you read your homemade book together Baby may not understand everything you are saying, but she is learning to associate word labels with objects.
Activity
Create your own bedtime book for baby. Use pictures of familiar nighttime scenes and things such as: bath time and bath toys, blanket, nightlight, pajamas, Mom, Dad, Babysitter, rocking chair, Baby's room, bottle, crib.
Draw pictures, take photos of Baby's very own bedtime things, or cut pictures from magazines, glue pictures to cardboard pages, and laminate them. make your book in a fun shape with rounded edges, such as a heart or a cloud. Punch holes in the pages and tie them together or link them with one inch rings. Keep your homemade book with Dream Pillow Lullaby to use at bedtime each evening. As you read your homemade book to baby point to and label pictures, and make up short stories about Baby that relate to the pictures."
This activity sounds like a lot of fun. I think I will make a book for my daughter this weekend. I am not very artistic so I plan to go to shutterfly and make a simple photo book. At walmart.com you can make a flip book that can be printed in an hour. Done and done(as you can see I'm not very patient)! Have fun with it, and bring it to class! I would love to see your ideas.
