Puppet Rhyme: “Here Is a Bunny”
Here is a bunny with ears so funny, (make ears with fingers)
And here is his hole in the ground, (make a hole with other hand)
When a noise he hears, he perks up his ears, (turn ears to hear noise)
And jumps in his hole with a bound. (jump ears into the hole)

Song: “I’m a Little Bunny” (Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little bunny, watch me hop, (hop around)
Here are my two ears, see how they flop. (flop hands at sides of baby’s head)
Here is my cotton tail, here is my nose, (wiggle hips, then point to nose)
I’m all furry from my head to my toes. (point to head, then to toes)
