Baby Doll Circle Time

Circle time is an important part of the day as kids and teachers are able to unite as a class and all come together on the carpet to engage in songs, books, questions, and so much more. For our smaller friends, circle time looks a little different than what our older kids participate in. When children are in the toddler stage it is important for them to create bonds with care givers and it is import for caregivers to set the tone and path in creating those bonds and attachments. Baby doll circle time provides an experience that does exactly that; help create bonds and attachments between children and educators. The curriculum behind Baby Doll circle time focuses heavy on attunement which helps pave the way for positive attachment. The educators in our toddler and preschool 1 classrooms love seeing how excited the kiddos get when the basket of babies come out. They love getting to pick out their baby and squeezing them tight with love. Baby Doll circle time is just getting started and they are currently working on the first unit: Peek-a-Boo!



These babies are ready to be loved on! let's sing "Get your baby, get your baby, get your baby, time to play!"

Starting with Unit 1.1 : Peek-a-Boo. Everybody hold their baby and get ready to start! 

 When participating in Baby Doll circle time, it is important to look the children and your babies in the eye. Can you point to your babies eyes??

Where is my baby?? Peek-a-Boo there you are!!  Where is my baby?? Peek-a-Boo I see you!! 

Giving lots of love while we sing "My baby's in my arms, my baby's in my arms, this is my baby, my baby's in my arms!" 


Learning how to rock the baby and while we sing about where our baby is! 

Participating in Baby Doll circle time helps children create attachments help pave the way for caring for others as they grow older. Our friend here noticed his baby did not have her pacifier in. How sweet is this?!?!

Getting ready to sing Bye bye baby as we wrap up circle time. Don't worry, we will play again next week! 

 Bye bye baby, bye bye baby, bye bye baby, we'll play again some day!
