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 mom put out (point to self)

Into a pretty flower, don’t you know! (raise left hand slowly up from

I Had a Little Puppy

I Had a Little Puppy

I had a little puppy,
His name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim.

He drank up all the water,
He ate a bar of soap.
The next thing you know
He had a bubble in his throat.

In came the doctor,
In came the nurse,
In came the lady with the alligator purse.

Out went the doctor,
Out went the nurse,
Out went the lady with the alligator purse.

I Am Special

I Am Special

(Tune: “London Bridge Is Falling Down“)

I am special. Yes, I am!
Yes, I am!
Yes, I am!
I am special. Yes, I am.
I’m very special.

No else has hair* like mine.
Just like mine.
Just like mine.
No one else has hair* like mine.
I’m very special.

*Additional verses: a face like mine, eyes like mine, nose like mine, mouth like mine.

I’m a Little Penguin

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

I’m a little penguin, black and white.
I waddle to the left and I waddle to the right.
I cannot fly but I can swim.
So I waddle to the water and jump right in!
