Did you miss our Rocket Storytime this week? Don't worry, here's what you missed, plus a few more suggestions so you can create your own out of this world storytime at home, complete with songs and stories.

Don't need a full storytime? Borrow a rhyme when you need a short distraction, or check out these materials and spend a few minutes reading together.

From Storytime

Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood

IF YOU'RE GOING TO THE MOON (from Storytime Katie) Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It

If you’re going to the moon, wear your boots [stomp, stomp]

If you’re going to the moon, wear your boots

If you’re going to the moon, and you’re going to go soon

If you’re going to the moon, wear your boots

Continue with gloves [clap, clap], helmet [pat your head], suit [zip, zip], bring your friends [gesture “come on”]

Tiny little rocket by illustrator Richard Collingridge

 

ONE LITTLE ROCKET WENT OUT TO PLAY (from Mel's Desk) Sing to: Five Little Ducks Went Out to Play

One little rocket blasts off to play, over in the Milky Way.

She had such enormous fun, that she called for another little rocket to come!

…[continue adding rockets until you get to five]...

Five little rockets blast off to play, over in the Milky Way.

They had such enormous fun, but they ran out of fuel and it was time to go home.
