Family Storytime Theme: Supeheroes

Superheroes are a crowd favorite, but rather than choose DC or Marvel superheroes, I found some really great stories about kids being superheroes.  And as we were talking in storytime about what makes someone a superhero, a little boy responded with the best reason of all – “they help people.”  I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Five little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck called with a
“Quack, quack, quack”
But only four little ducks came swimming back.
Four little ducks…
Three little ducks…
Two little ducks…
One little duck…
Sad mother duck
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
The sad mother duck said
“Quack, quack, quack.”
And the five little ducks came swimming back.

Wiggles: “See the Little Bunny Sleeping”
See the little bunnies sleeping
til it’s nearly noon
Come and let us gently wake them

Oh, how still.

hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies,
hope, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies,
hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies,
hope, hop, hop
