Baby's Own Storytime PDF FACEBOOK SHARE ICON.

Make sure to add story time to your baby's routine.

What You Need:

None

What To Do:

Settle down in a comfortable chair and snuggle baby close to you so that he can see and feel your mouth as you speak. Offer a pacifier or other comfort items if needed.

Use your imagination to weave a tale. Begin with “Once upon a time there was a little baby (insert your child’s name).” Let your imagination take the story along, using creative words and varying the tone of your voice.

If baby becomes restless, you can also try signing songs or reciting nursery rhymes. These are alternative forms of storytelling with music, rhythm and rhyme.
