Week 1

Welcome to the Shake, Rattle & Read Blog!

Rhymes
Where did you get that little red nose?
Jack Frost kissed it I suppose.
He kissed it once, he kissed it twice.
Poor little nose it's as cold as ice!

Pizza, pickle, pumpernickle (Do this rhyme on baby's tummy or hand)
My little one shall have a tickle
One for his nose, one for his toes
One for his tummy where the hotdog goes!

I hide my hands, I shake my hands
I give a little clap
I clap my hands, I shake my hands
I fold them in my lap
Hide them, shake them
Hide them, shake them
Clap, clap, clap

Fe, fi, fo, fum (clap 4x)
See my fingers, see my thumbs (show fingers, then thumbs)
Fe, fi, fo, fum (clap 4x)
Goodbye fingers, goodby thumbs! (hide fingers, hide thumbs)

Bounces
The wind blows down the chimney
The wind blows through the trees
The wind blows baby up and down
Upon her mommy's knees.

While going down a country road
From Jarvis to Port Dover
My wheel got stuck inside a rut
And I went tumbling over, whoops
Over, whoops, over, whoops
I went tumbling over, whoops!

(Tune: Shortenin' Bread)
Tiny little baby loves bouncing, bouncing
Tiny little baby loves bouncing so
Tiny little baby loves bouncing, bouncing
Tiny little baby loves bouncing so.
Bounce to the left, bounce to the right
Now hug that baby nice and tight!

Ride a little pony down to town
Better be careful you don't fall down!

Songs
Hello everybody and how are you, how are you, how are you?
Hello everybody and how are you. How are you today?
(clap hands, stamp feet, wave hello, blow a kiss)

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!!

Wake up toes, wake up toes
Wake up toes and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wake up toes, wake up toes
Wake and a-wiggle in the morning!

The eency weency spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the eency weency spider
Climbed up the spout againg!

Canadian Eency Weency Spider
The eency weency spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the snow
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
But it didn't do a thing
So the eency weency spider
Will have to wait for Spring!
