Recently, we had a toddler storytime devoted to our earth. We had a fingerplay where we took seeds in our hands and grew into a plant. We read books and sang songs about our world. One of these was a book called Whole World by Christopher Corr and Fred Penner. This book comes with a CD and the song goes something like this:
We've got the whole world in our hands,
We've got the whole world in our hands,
We've got the whole world in our hands,
We've got the whole world in our hands!
She's got the sun and the moon in her hands,
She's got the sun and the moon in her hands,
She's got the sun and the moon in her hands,
She's got the whole world in her hands!
He's got the mountains and the valleys in his hands,
He's got the mountains and the valleys in his hands,
He's got the mountains and the valleys in his hands,
He's got the whole world in his hands!
The children and parents had lots of fun singing this song and dancing at the end of storytime! Come out and join the fun!
