Sing Me a Song
Find Me!
(To the tune of “Where Is Thumbkin?”)
#Z $BUIFSJOF $PUUPO t "SU CZ 4QJLF .BHVJSF
Where is Mommy? Where is Mommy?
There she is! There she is!
To extend the fun, sing this again but substitute kitty for Mommy and
Daddy, and sing Where’s the kitty? Help your child point to the kitty as
you sing, “There she is!” For another variation, hide your face with a
small towel as you sing. As you move the towel away, sing, “Here I am!”
Where is Daddy? Where is Daddy?
There he is! There he is!

How many can you catch?
When you talk about the pictures, name the colors
you see and point to and count the pumpkins. Then

Lullaby and kisses sweet,
Kisses for two tiny feet.
Make up a little tune and sing this poem. Then give your baby
kisses on her hands, her feet, her ears, and her two little
cheeks. Count the kisses—one, two—as you give them.
Anddon’tforgettwotinythumbs
To kiss before the Sandman comes.
Bye-bye
for now!

Highlights Hello Magazine was introduced in December 2012. This magazine for babies and toddlers targets children ages 0–2 years old. Highlights announced that this magazine, which is offered in several packages is designed specifically for babies.
Laughter and Learning
Each Hello magazine follows a theme such as Sounds, Food or Farm Animals, that helps young children make sense of their world. Every issue is filled with colorful images, whimsical read-aloud stories, poems and simple activities that make babies giggle, laugh and learn. You’ll also find word play, games and lots of silly fun.
Babies love to look at other babies, so Hello also features plenty of photos of happy faces and little ones laughing and playing. Plus, our read-aloud stories are just the right length for even the youngest ones’ attention spans.
Thoughtfully Designed
Hello is the perfect size for little hands to hold and to fit into a diaper bag or purse. It’s also baby-safe, made of a tear-resistant, washable material with rounded corners and a stitched — not stapled — binding. For extra safety, Hello is mailed in an envelope that keeps it germ-free while it’s on its way to your home.
You’ll love watching your special little one get excited with every turn of a page. Best of all, time spent laughing, playing and reading Hello will help baby to make positive connections between reading and fun.
