and Toddlers |
Here are the bee hives
(left hand cupped downward),
Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
(hide fingers of right hand under it)
Soon they'll come creeping
(fingers come out one by one)
Out of the hives
One, two, three, four, five Buz-zz.
(hand circles around)

I have ten little fingers and they all belong
to me,
I can make them do things-would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight, I can open them wide,
I can put them together, I can make them all hide.
I can make them jump high,
I can make them jump low.
I can fold them up quietly and hold them just so. |
Open - shut them,
Give a little clap.
Open - shut them,
Open - shut them,
Lay them in your lap.
creep them, crawl them
creep them, crawl them
up on to your chin
open wide your little mouth
but do not put them in.

Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes
Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Eyes, Ears, Mouth and Nose. |
Way up high in the apple tree
Two little apples smiled at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
down came the apples
Mmm were they good.

Eency, weency spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain
So eency, weency spider went up the spout again. |
This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
This little piggy had none
And this little piggy went wee- wee- wee
All the way home |
