Here's a fun shaker rhyme: We're Going to Shake Our Shakers
We're Going to Shake Our Shakers
We're going to shake our shakers
Shake them so.....
We're going to shake our shakers
HIGH!! and LOW!!
We're going to shake our shakers
Shake the so....
Until someone says.......STOP!
We’re going to shake our shakers
Shake them so.... We’re going to shake our shakers FAST!! and SLOW!! We’re going to shake our shakers Shake them so.... Until someone says......STOP!
We’re going to shake our shakers LEFT!! and RIGHT!! We’re going to shake our shakers LEFT!! and RIGHT!! We’re going to shake our shakers LEFT!! and RIGHT HOLD ON TIGHT! Until someone says......STOP!
We’re going to shake our shakers AROUND and AROUND!! We’re going to shake out shakers UPSIDE DOWN!! We’re going to shake our shakers ON THE GROUND!! Until someone says......STOP!
We’re going to shake our shakers SHAKE THEM GOODBYE!! We’re going to shake our shakers SHAKE THEM GOODBYE!! We’re going to shake our shakers SHAKE THEM GOODBYE!! Until someone says.......STOP!
You're going to need a shaker for this one. If you don't already have one, you can help your child make a shaker using our super-simple directions:
Preschooler Tie-ins:
I love this rhyme because it it introduces kids to lots of abstract concepts in an incredibly fun way. HIGH and LOW, FAST and SLOW, LEFT and RIGHT... these are concepts that take quite a little practice for preschoolers to master. Left and right are especially challenging (in the video, I shake my directions backward, in case little ones might be watching and trying to imitate). Print awareness is a child's understanding of how books and printed language work. Spatial awareness and concepts like left and right are an important part of this critical pre-reading skill. Rhymes that let kids play with these ideas help them to learn in a meaningful way!
Toddler Tie-ins:
Each section of the rhyme ends with a STOP! Practicing stopping is very important for young children. Every time they stop shaking, they are practicing self-control and self-regulation. This can be extremely challenging for toddlers. Learning to focus is an extremely important skill. Kids who are able to control their urges and stick with a challenging task will have a much easier time learning to read!
Baby Tie-ins:
Babies love the rhythm of shakers. Every time you stop and start again, your baby will be surprised and delighted!
We're Going to Shake Our Shakers
We're going to shake our shakers
Shake them so.....
We're going to shake our shakers
HIGH!! and LOW!!

Visiting Storyland, Pt. 7
It has been quite an adventure! In the last seven weeks, we've made a long journey through some of the greatest children's picture books ever made. This week, we look at our last Storyland title: Where's Spot? by Eric Hill.
It's suppertime and Spot the puppy can't be found! His mother searches high and low trying to find where Spot is hiding. She gets help along the way from a series of animals and finally uncovers her lost little guy!
Now, in my honest opinion, it isn't the story that makes Where's Spot? so much fun... it's the lift-the-flap technology!! Toddlers especially enjoy lifting the flaps to see if Spot is hiding in the clock, the closet or in the piano. Every time we encounter a new hiding place, the book asks us a very simple question: "Is he under the bed?" Up until the very end, whenever we lift the flap we are met with a different animal who answers one word: "no". The author's use of speech balloons and the repeated word "no" presents us with a great opportunity to point out how the printed word and books work. We can point to the word no as we read "no". After kids have enjoyed the book a number of times, we can more explicitly call their attention to the speech balloons. We can say something like: "Hey! Have you noticed that all the animals say 'no' and that they all have this word next to them? Did you know that this says no?! Pretty cool!"
We call a child's understanding of how books and printed words work print awareness. Print awareness involves many different concepts, such as how we read text from left to right and top to bottom. It also includes a basic understanding of how a book works! Books with moveable parts, like Where's Spot?, give kids the chance to explore the mechanical side of books.This will ultimately help them when they begin to learn how to read.
It can be great fun for kids to create their own books. Check out our super-simple directions on making a book:
You can easily tape or glue some paper flaps onto the pages and turn your child's book into a lift-the-flap book! When children play with books in meaningful ways, their enjoyment of books grows.
Check out our recent Fingerplay Fun Friday blog post for some information about peek-a-boo and why little kids love it so much: Here's a Ball for Baby
The Storyland exhibit is on display at the Portland Children's Museum until May 5, 2013. Visitors can sit on top of Spot's trunk, flip tiles to reveal Spot and play with Spot's basket. To visit the Children's Museum for free, contact your local Washington County library today and arrange to check out a Cultural Pass.
