H is for Horse...and other animals on a farm

Books

Horses: Trotting, Prancing, Racing!  by Patricia Hubbell; illustrated by Joe Mathieu



The Hat  by Jan Brett



Songs/Rhymes/Fingerplays

Old McDonald had a Farm

Wiggle your Toes
(sung to: Row, row, row your boat)

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle your toes
Wiggle them up and down
Wiggle them every which way
As you turn around.

Wave your arms
Stomp your feet
Clap your hands

Little Bo-Peep
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them
Leave them alone and they'll come home
Wagging their tails behind them.

What other animals did Bo-Peep lose?
We had farm animals...horses, cows, pigs...but we also sang about alligators and giraffes!
