Panda Bear, Panda Bear

Panda bear, panda bear turn around

Panda bear, panda bear touch the ground

Dance on your toes, touch your nose

Reach up high, touch the sky

Bend down low, touch your toe

Jump up now, take a bow

Stomp your feet, take a sea.

Five Fuzzy Pandas

5 fuzzy pandas eating bamboo

They chomp, chomp, chomp!

And they chew, chew, chew!

One playful panda bear tumbles away

While all the other pandas just eat all day.

continue counting down

2 fuzzy pandas eating bamboo

They chomp, chomp, chomp!

And they chew, chew, chew!

One playful panda bear tumbles away

While the last little panda just eats all day

1 fuzzy panda eating bamboo

He chomps, chomps, chomps!

And he chews, chews, chews!

He tumbles off with his friends to play

Now all the panda bears have gone away.

We also had magnetic gears, vet play set, and ball roller (for younger siblings).
