Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream.

Rock-a-bye, Baby,
Upon the tree top,
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall,
Down tumbles cradle,
Baby and all.
Also known as Hush-A-Bye, this song can be either a lullaby (though slightly disturbing at that) or an action song (much more fitting). As an action song, hold the infant or child cradled in your arms. Gently rock the little one back and forth as the wind blows. The when the cradle falls and down tumbles baby, gently lower your arms quickly, and “catch” your little one. Older preschoolers love this song and you can be a little more active in your actions.
Friday night’s dream,
on Saturday told,
Is sure to come true,
be it never so old.
One little dinosaur
Was sent to bed.
He stomped his feet,
And he shook his head!
Two big dinosaurs
Said, “No, no, no!”
I want to stay up,
I will not go!”
Three loving dinosaurs
Hugged each other tight.
They gave a big kiss
And said “Good Night!”
One little dinosaur (hold up one finger)
Was sent to bed. (place hands beneath cheek as if asleep)
He stomped his feet, (stomp feet)
And he shook his head! (shake head)
Two big dinosaurs (hold up two fingers)
Said, “No, no, no!” (shake finger)
I want to stay up, (cross arms)
I will not go!” (shake head)
Three loving dinosaurs (hold up three fingers)
Hugged each other tight. (hug self)
They gave a big kiss (making kissing sound)
And said “Good Night!” (place hands beneath cheek as if asleep)
Big books,
Little books,
Short books,
Tall
Fat books,
Skinny books,
I love them all!
Big books, (hold arms out wide)
Little books, (bring hands in close together, palms facing, hands upright)
Short books, (keep hands close together and palms facing but change so hands are one on top of the other)
Tall (stretch top hand up high in the sky)
Fat books, (hold arms in a big circle)
Skinny books, (bring hands close together again, this time wiggling fingers)
I love them all! (wrap arms around yourself in a hug)
Big Books, Little Books is a great welcome rhyme to begin a laptime or storytime program. It’s easy for parents and caregivers to move a babies arms or help a toddler do the actions.

(Tune: “The Farmer In the Dell“)
The frost is on the roof
The frost is on the ground
The frost is on the window
The frost is all around
The frost is on the roof
(point hands over head)
The frost is on the ground
(point to the floor)
The frost is on the window
(make a window with your hands)
The frost is all around
(make large circles with hands)
Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul,
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow, but the children know he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around!
Oh, Frosty, the Snowman, was alive as he could be;
and the children say he could laugh and play,
just the same as you and me.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
over the hills of snow.
Frosty the Snowman, knew the sun was hot that day,
so he said, “Let’s run, and we’ll have some fun now, before I melt away.”
Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there, all around the square,
sayin’, “Catch me if you can.”
He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop;
and only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, “Stop!”
For Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin’ “Don’t cry, I’ll be back again some day.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
over the hills of snow.
