Week 8

Thank you everyone! I truly enjoyed singing, bouncing and laughing with you and your babies!

Rhymes:
Tick, tack, toe
Round and round I go
Where I stop
I don't know? (give a tickle and name the body part)

Bounces:
One, two, three, four
Beans came jumping through the door
Five, six, seven, eight
Jumping up onto my plate!

Other songs, rhymes and bounces are listed in previous posts.

Week 7

Rhymes:
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake Baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can
Pat it, and roll it and mark it with a "B"
Put it in the oven for baby and me!

Here is baby's ball
Big and soft and round
Here is baby's hammer
Listen to it pound
Here is baby's trumpet
Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot
Here is baby's favourite game
It's called Peek-a-boo!

Pitty, patty, polt (tap babies feet together)
Shoe the little colt
Here a nail (wiggle one foot)
There a nail (wiggle other foot)
Pitty, patty, polt. (tap feet together)

Bounces:
Jelly in the bowl
Jelly in the bowl
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble
Jelly in the bowl!

Candles on the cake
Candles on the cake
Blow them out
Blow them out
Puff, puff, puff!

Songs:
Wave to mommy (Tune: Frere Jacques)
Wave to mommy
Wave, wave, wave
Say hello to mommy
Say hello to mommy
Wave, wave, wave
Wave, wave, wave.

Let's clap our hands together
Let's clap our hands together
Let's clap our hands together
Because it's fun to do
(tap legs, wiggle fingers, tickle tummies)

I'm a little baby (Tune: I'm a little teapot)
I fly high
Down to the floor
And up to the sky
Like a little bird or butterfly
Now up I go
I'm flying high

See the little bunnies sleeping
Til it's nearly noon
Come and let us gently wake them
With a merry tune
Oh so still
Are they ill?
Wake up soon!
Hop little bunnies hop, hop,hop. (4x)

Week 6

Rhymes:
The moon is round as round can be
Two eyes, a nose and a mouth like me!

Where are the stars? There, there! (point to sky)
Where are the stars? There, there! (point to baby's eyes)
Where is my star? Right here! (hug baby)

Here we go up, up, up
Here we go down, down, down
Here we go backwards and forward
And here we go round, and round, and round.

Bounces:
The wind blows down the chimney (bounce baby)
The wind blows through the trees
The wind blows (baby's name) up and down (lift baby)
Upon his/her mommy's knee.

Songs:
The Muffin Man
Do you know the Muffin Man
the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man?
Do you know the Muffin Man?
He lives on Drury Lane.

1 button, 2 buttons, 3 buttons, 4
Changing baby's diaper like we did before
4 buttons, 3 buttons, 2 buttons, 1
Changing baby's diaper now we're done
Lots of fun! Nice clean bum!

Rocking, rocking, rocking, rocking
backwards and forwards, to and fro
Rocking, rocking, rocking, rocking
This is how baby likes to go!

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are?

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, brother John
Morning bells are ringing
Morning bells are ringing
Ding, dang, dong
Ding, dang, dong.
