There were 5 in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over!  Roll over!"

So they all rolled over and one fell out.

Songs

The Soup is Boiling Up
(tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

The soup is boiling up
The soup is boiling up
Stir slow, around we go
The soup is boiling up

1st we'll add the water
1st we'll add the water
Stir slow, around we go
The soup is boiling up.

Then we'll add the carrot
...
Last we'll add the onion

Silly Soup
(tune: Pop Goes the Weasel)

I'm going to make some silly soup
I'm making soup that's silly
I'm going to cook it in the fridege
To make it nice and chilly!

I'm going to make some silly soup
I'm making soup that's silly
In goes a clock, dirty socks, and some blocks
To make a soup that's silly!

3 Little Snowmen standing in a row

Each has 2 eyes and a carrot nose

Out came the sun and shone all day

1 little snowman melted away.

1 little, 2 little, 3 little snowflakes
4 little, 5 little, 6 little snowflakes
7 little, 8, little, 9 little snowflakes
10 little snowflakes falling down.

The Soup is Boiling Up!
(tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

The soup is boiling up
The soup is boiling up
Stir slow, around we go
The soup is boiling up!

First we'll add the carrots...
Next we'll add the onions...
Last we'll add the peas...

Pea Soup

Peas in a pot, peas in a pot
Waiting for the soup to get hot.

Finally the soup gets very, very hot
And all the peas jump out of the pot!

Add green pom poms to a pot and then throw all the peas out when they jump.  The toddlers loved this and we did the song multiple times!
