It's shaping up to be a great week at Storytimes at HRLS, and we're counting on a number of fun activities! Head over to any of our three branches and explore some shapes and numbers through stories, rhymes, music, and more.
Look up the tag: #shapesandnumbers for some books to bring home while you're visiting.
Five Little Books
Five little books, sitting on a shelf,
Look inside, and see a little elf.
Four little books, all in a row
Look inside, see it start to snow.
Three little books, still on the shelf.
Can you take one, and read it for yourself?
Two little books left on the pile
Find one now, and read it with a smile.
One little book, all that is there,
Found itself a reader, who was happy to share.
Five Little Books at the Library
Five little books at the library
Five little books as great as can be
Along comes (name) with their library card
To take one home and read
10 in the Bed
There were 10 in the bed, and the little one said, “Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over, and one fell out!
There were 9 in the bed…. etc.
(Count down until there is only the “little one” who says, “Goodnight!”)
Where is Triangle
(Tune: “Where Is Thumbkin?”)
Where is triangle?
Where is triangle? Here I am. Here I am. How are you today, sir? Very well, I thank you. Run away. Run away. (Repeat with circle, rectangle, square, diamond)
Shape Song
(Tune: "The Farmer in the Dell")
A circle's like a ball,
A circle's like a ball,
Round and round It never stops.
A circle's like a ball!
A rectangle has 4 sides,
A rectangle has 4 sides,
A rectangle is like a box.
A rectangle has 4 sides!
A square has four sides,
A square has four sides,
All four sides,
They are the same.
A square has four sides
A triangle has 3 sides,

Up the mountain,
Down, and back.
A triangle has 3 sides!
