Pat-A-Cake

Pat-A-Cake

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake
{clap hands}
Baker’s man
{clap hands}
Bake me a cake
{clap hands}
As fast as you can.
{clap hands}

Roll it and pat it
{roll hands, pat stomach}
And mark it with a B
{draw letter “B” with finger}
And throw it in the oven
{throw hands in the air}
For baby and me.

With newborns and infants, hold their hands while you do the actions so their arms move too. As children get older and become more familiar with the actions, they’ll begin to do them on their own. My little ones loved to clap their hands and roll their arms.

This rhyme usually ends with kisses all over baby’s face, neck and stomach. It’s a great bonding rhyme.
