Turtles and Tigers and Toads! Oh, My!  So many fun words that begin with the letter T!!  Unfortunately, we only had storytime on Wednesday because of a terrible snowstorm Thursday!

A Silly Song

Song  [tune: wheels on the bus]

I can make my hands go clap, clap, clap; clap, clap, clap; clap, clap, clap
I can make my hands go clap, clap, clap, 'cuz they're a part of me.

I can make my feet go stomp, stomp, stomp; stomp, stomp, stomp; stomp,stomp, stomp.
I can make my feet go stomp, stomp, stomp, 'cuz they're a part of me.

I can make my legs go jump, etc.

I can make my bottom go wiggle , etc.

I can make my tongue go in and out, etc.  [Make sure you say "'cuz it's a part of me" with your tongue out!]

Rub-a-dub-dub

Rub-a-dub-dub three men in the tub
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker
And all of them going to sea!
