Tommy Tittlemouse

Little Tommy Tittlemouse
Lived in a little house.
He caught fishes
In other men’s ditches.

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle-shells
And pretty maids all in a row.

Here is the Beehive

Tune: “Rock-a-bye Baby“

Here is the beehive
{hand in a fist}
Where are the bees?
{shrug shoulders}
Hidden inside
{point to fisted hand}
Where nobody sees
{shake head and wag finger in “no”}
Watch as the bees
Come out of the hive
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
{open fist one finger at a time till all 5 are showing}

Then tickle your child. This is a great one for all ages and helps build anticipation in the littlest ones.

Robin Redbreast

Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a rail,
Niddle, naddle went his head,
Wiggle, waggle went his tail.

Robin’s Nest

Here’s a nest for a Robin Redbreast.
{cup hands to form nest}
Here’s a hive for a Busy Bee.
{form fist for beehive}
Here’s a hole for a Jack Rabbit-
{make circle with thumb and forefinger}
And a house for me.
{fingertips together to form roof line}
