Five Little Gingerbread Men

Five little gingerbread men in a row

Not going to eat one, no. no, no!

But they look so sweet from head to toe

Nibble, nibble, munch, crunch...oh, no!

Continue counting down

No little gingerbread men in a row

I wasn't going to eat one, no, no, no.

But they looked so sweet that it's sad to tell

Munch, crunch...oh, well!

Fingerplay

Making Cookies

I am making cookie dough

Round and round the beaters go

Add some flour from a cup

Stir and stir the batter up.

Roll them, cut them nice and neat

Put them on a cookie sheet

Bake them, count them 1-2-3

Serve them to my friends for tea.
