If Wishes Were Horses
If wishes were horses,
Beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches,
I’d wear one by my side.
And if “ifs” and “ands”
Were pots and pans,
There’d be no work for tinkers!
I Can Fly
I Can Fly
I can fly here,
I can fly there,
Look at me now,
I’m HIGH in the air!
This action poem is perfect for laptime with your baby. You can move your baby “here” and “there” and then lift baby up high on the last line. These actions can also be adapted to toddler and preschooler physical abilities. Flapping arms and moving side to side shows flying. Then giving a big, two-footed jump for high in the air!
I’m a Little Dragon
I’m a Little Dragon
(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little dragon, strong and stout.
Here is my tail and here is my snout.
If I get upset, you better watch out!
I’ll roar, and shout, and stomp about.

I Have a Little Frog
I Have a Little Frog
I have a little frog
His name is Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water
He gobbled up the soap
And when he tried to talk
He had a bubble in his throat.
I Know a Little Penguin
I Know a Little Penguin
I know a little penguin
Who sat upon some blocks
He swam in the water
And climbed on some rocks.
He snapped at a seagull
He snapped at a seal.
He snapped at a fish.
What a tasty meal.
If You Have a Train
If You Have a Train
Tune: “Once There Was a Snowman“
If you have a black train, black train, black train
If you have a black train, stand up tall!
If you have a black train, black train, black train
If you have a black train, sit down small!
Trade colors out: red, blue, orange, purple, green, white, gray
I’m a Little Daisy
I’m a Little Daisy
(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)
I’m a little daisy, tall and slim (Stand on tiptoes)
Here are my petals (Place hands on side of head & wiggle fingers)
Here is my stem (Hold arms down at sides of legs)
When the sun comes up (Make sun with arms)
And the rain comes down (Flutter hands to floor like rain-end in crouching position)
I grow, grow, grow- up from the ground! (slowly raise up bring hand over head)

I’m a Little Flower Pot
I’m a Little Flower Pot
(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)
I’m a little flower pot mom put out (point to self)
If you take care of me, I will sprout. (nod head, point to self)
When you water me, I will grow (make sprinkling motions w/ right hand)
Into a pretty flower, don’t you know! (raise left hand slowly up from
floor, make wide circle with hands or arms)

If I Were a Little Flower
If I Were a Little Flower
If I were a little flower
Sleeping underneath the ground,
(Curl up)
I’d raise my head and grow and grow
(Raise head and begin to grow)
And stretch my arms and grow and grow
(Stretch arms)
And nod my head and say,
(Nod head)
“I’m glad to see you all today.”
It Is Raining
It Is Raining
(Tune: “Frere Jacques“)
It is raining,
It is raining,
On my head.
On my head.
Pitter patter raindrops
Pitter patter raindrops
I’m all wet!
I’m all wet!
