Puppet

My teddy is looking all around

My teddy can spin around and around

My teddy is sleeping in his bed

My teddy is sitting on my hear

My teddy is looking at my toes

My teddy can kiss me on the nose

My teddy is whispering in my ear

What's he saying? Can you hear?

My teddy can hide behind me

But wherever I go my teddy will find me!

Bears

(tune: Mary had a Little Lamb)

Grizzly bears are big and brown

Big and brown, big and brown

Grizzly bears are big and brown

And live in the woods

Polar bears are soft and white...

And live in the cold.

Teddy bears are just my size...

To cuddle with at night

Where is Teddy Hiding?
