Five Little Kitty Cats

5 Little Kitty Cats

Five little kitty cats sleeping on the floor
One pounced away, and now there are four!

Four little kitty cats, cute as can be,
One leapt away, and now there are three!

Three little kitty cats, hunters through and through,
One caught a mouse, and now there are two!

Two little kitty cats, basking in the sun,
One slinked away, and now there’s only one!

One little kitty cat got up to stretch and yawn,
I looked away…and now he’s gone!

Five Little Acorns

5 Little Acorns

Five little acorns sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came an acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

Four little acorns sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came an acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

Three little acorns sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came an acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

Two little acorns sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came an acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

One little acorn sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came the acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

No little acorns sitting in the tree
But Mr. Squirrel is as full as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Mr. Squirrel sat down feeling very pleased!

Five Red Apples

5 Red Apples

Five red apples hanging in a tree
The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.

Four red apples, hanging in a tree,
The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.

Three red apples, hanging in a tree,
The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.

Two red apples, hanging in a tree,
The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.

One red apple, hanging in a tree,
The juiciest apple you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.
No red apples hanging in a tree.

Five Little Butterflies

5 Little Butterflies

Five little butterflies on flowers galore,
One flew off, then there were four.

Four little butterflies among the sweet peas.
One flew off, then there were three.

Three little butterflies with nothing to do,
One flew off, then there were two.

Two little butterflies resting in the sun,
One flew off, then there was one.

One little butterfly, now the only one,
She flew off, then there were none.

Fuzzy Little Caterpillar

Fuzzy Little Caterpillar

(Tune: “Eensy, Weensy Spider”)

A fuzzy little caterpillar,
curled upon a leaf
spun her little chrysalis,
and then fell fast asleep.
While she was sleeping,
she dreamed that she could fly
and when she woke up from her nap,
she was a butterfly!

Five Little Astronauts

5 Little Astronauts

Five little astronauts, sitting on the stars
The first one said, “Let’s go to Mars!”
The second one said, “There are spaceships in the air!”
The third one said, “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s fly up in the sky!”
The fifth one said, “Let’s fly, fly, fly!”
Then WHOOSH went the spaceship into the night 
And the five little astronauts zoomed out of sight!

Five Fingers

Five Fingers

One finger says good day,
One finger likes to play,
One finger nice and long,
One finger sweet and strong.
One thumb, young or old,
One hand, perfect to hold.

5 Little Dragons

Five little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only four little dragons came roaring back.

Four little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only three little dragons came roaring back.

Three little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only two little dragons came roaring back.

Two little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only one little dragon came roaring back.

One little dragon went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
But no little dragons came roaring back.

Mother dragon said, “It’s a really good snack!”
And all five little dragons came roaring back.
