The Mitten Song
The Mitten Song
Thumb in the thumb place,
Fingers all together.
This is the song we sing
In mitten weather.
When it is cold
It doesn’t matter whether
Mittens are wool or
Made of finest leather.
Thumb in the thumb place,
Fingers all together.
This is the song we sing
In mitten weather.
Snowball, Snowball
Snowball, Snowball
Flannel Board Hide and Seek Game
Snowball, snowball
Big and round
Behind which mitten
Can you be found?
To play the game:
Put each mitten on the flannel board one by one talking about the color of the mitten. For toddlers you can say the color and invited them to repeat it. For preschoolers you can ask them what the color is and then reinforce their learning by repeating the name of the color.
Once all the mittens have been placed on the flannel board, turn the board around and hide the snowball behind one of the mittens. As you are doing this you can explain how the game works. Turn the board around and say the chant. Have the children guess a color. Look behind the color. If the snowball is not there, have another child guess. If the snowball is there, cheer! You can turn the board around and hide it again. I have found that little ones enjoy this game 5-7 times or until all the colors have had a turn to hide the snowball.
A Goodbye Rhyme
A Good-bye Rhyme
Wave high, wave low
I think it’s time we’ve got to go.
Wave your elbows, wave your toes,
Wave your knees, wave your nose.
Wave your chin, wave your lips,
Blow a kiss from your fingertips.
Wave your ears, wave your eyes,
Wave your hands and say “Good-bye!”
With Infants
Lay the infant on a blanket or on your lap. Tickle each body part as it is mentioned. Help the infant wave good-bye with their hands.
With Young Toddlers
Either sit facing your sitting toddler, or have your toddler sit on your lap. If facing each other you can mirror your toddler by waving each body part as it it mentioned. If toddler is sitting on your lap, you can help them wave each body part as it is mentioned.

This Little Train
This Little Train
(Tune: “This Old Man“)
This little train, painted black
It comes chugging down the track
With a “Choo-choo; Toot-toot”
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.
This little car painted blue
It has seats for me and you
With a “Choo-choo; Toot-toot”
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.
This little car painted yellow
It shimmies and shakes like a bowl of jello
With a “Choo-choo; Toot-toot”
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.
This little car, painted green
It’s the fanciest car you’ve seen,
With a “Choo-choo; Toot-toot”
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.
This little car; it is grey
It takes you places far away
With a “Choo-choo; Toot-toot”
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.
This caboose; it is red
It will take you home to bed
With a “Choo-choo; Toot-toot”
Hear the whistle blow
This little train goes chugging home.
