Little Bear
(with puppet)

Little Bear in the tree
Sitting, oh, so still
Won't you come out?
Yes, he will!
He looks to the left
He looks to the right
He looks straight ahead
Then he pops out of sight!

Here are Baby's Eyes
Here are baby's eyes so bright,
Always sparkling, full of light.
Here is baby's little nose,
Here's his/her mouth so like a rose.
Here are teeth all shining bright;
Be careful, baby, where you bite!

Here are two pink, little ears,
Oh, how many things he/she hears.
Here are checks so soft and sweet,
Look like they were made to eat!
The forehead's where wee face begins;
Here's the end--a dimpled chin!

As I Went Walking to Town
(rhythmical bounce baby--with puppets)

As I went walking to town
Oh, it was a sunshiny day!
As I went walking to town one day,
I met a cow along the way!
And what do you think that cow did say?
Mooo!

Continue bounce with other animals (I use duck, cat, and pig)

Popcorn
Pop, pop, pop (bounce)
You put the corn in the pot
Pop, pop, pop
You shake it till it's hot (gently "shake")
Pop, pop, pop (bounce)
Lift and lid and what have you got?
Pop, pop, pop
Popcorn! (raise baby in air)

Peek-a-Boo (with scarves)
(tune: Are You Sleeping?)

Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo
I see you, I see you
I see your little nose
I see your tiny toes
Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo!

Bounce You Here
I bounce you here, I bounce you there
I bounce you, bounce you everywhere!

I hug you here, I hug you there
I hug you, hug you everywhere!

I tickle you here, I tickle you there
I tickle you, tickle you everywhere!

Pease Porridge Hot
Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold
Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old!
Some like it hot, some like it cold
Some like it in the pot, nine days old!

Acka Backa Soda Cracker
Acka backa soda cracker
Acka backa boo
Acka backa soda cracker
Up goes you!

Acka backa soda cracker
Acka bacak boo
Acka backa soda cracker
I love you!

Pudding on the Plate
Pudding on the plate
Pudding on the plate
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble
Pudding on the plate.

Candies in the jar
Candies in the jar
Shake them up, shake them up
Candies in the jar.

Candles on the cake
Candles on the cake
Blow them out, blow them out
Candles on the cake.

Airplane in the sky
Airplane in the sky
Fly it high, fly it high
Up to the sky!

Hug, Hug, Hug (Good-bye)
(tune: Wheels on the Bus)

Take your little arms and go hug, hug, hug
Hug, hug, hug
Hug, hug, hug
Take your little arms and go hug, hug, hug
Give a little hug!

Take your little mouth and go kiss, kiss, kiss
Kiss, kiss, kiss
Kiss, kiss, kiss
Take your little mouth and go kiss, kiss, kiss
Give a little kiss!

Take your little hand and wave bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye
Take your little hand and wave bye, bye, bye
Give a little wave!
