Shake Rattle and Read

Week 1

Welcome to Shake Rattle and Read! Enjoy these rhymes, bounces and songs with your babies.

Rhymes:

Criss-cross, applesauce
Spiders crawling up your back
Cool breeze, tight squeeze
Now you've got the shivers.

Wee Wiggie
Poke Piggies
John Grisle
Tom Whistle
And Old Big! Gobble, gobble, gobble!

Up, up, up in the sky like this
Down, down, down for a great big kiss
Up like this, down for a kiss.
You're a special baby!

These are my eyes
This is my nose
This is my bellybutton
These are my toes

Two little eyes to look around
Two little ears to hear each sound
One little nose to smell what's sweet
One little mouth that like to eat.

Fe, fi, fo, fum
See my fingers
See my thumbs
Fe, fi, fo. fum
Goodbye fingers
Goodbye thumbs!

Nice hug, not too snug
Just right, not too tight
One kiss, just like this
Nose rub too!
I love you!

Fally, fally, fally...up, up, up again! (lean baby back and then bring her forward)

Bounces:

Rickety, rickety rocking horse
Over the hills we go
Rickety, rickety rocking horse
Giddy-up, giddy-up, WHOA!

Acka backa soda cracker
Acka backa boo!
Acka backa soda cracker
Up goes you!
Acka backa soda cracker
Acka backa boo!
Acka backa soda cracker
I love you!

I bounce you here
I bounce you there
I bounce you, bounce you everywhere
I tickle you here
I tickle you there
I tickle you, tickle you everywhere
I hug you here
I hug you there
I hug you, hug you everywhere

Songs:
Mr. Pop-up, Mr. Pop-up
Where are you?
Where are you?
Please come out to see us
Please come out to see us
Peek-a-boo!
Peek-a-boo!

Head and shoulders
Knees and toes
Knees and toes
Knees and toes
Head and shoulders
Knees and toes
Eyes, ears, mouth and nose!
Nose and elbows
Feet and waist
Feet and waist
Nose and elbows
Feet and waist
Make your hands go clap, clap, clap!

Finger family's up
And finger family's down
Finger family's dancing
All around the town
Dance them on your shoulders
Dance them on your head
Dance them on your knees
And tuck them into bed!

Tony Chestnut
Knows I love you
Tony knows
Tony knows
Tony Chestnut
Knows I love you
That's what Tony Chestnut knows!

Ring around the rosie
A pocket full of posie
Husha husha
We all fall down
The cows are in the meadow
Eating buttercups
1,2,3,4
We all jump up!
