As round can be

And a mouth like me!

Flannel: Five Flashing Fireflies (adapted from Ten Flashing Fireflies by Philemon Sturges)
What do we see in the summer night?
Five flashing fireflies burning bright!
Let’s catch the one twinkling there.
Now there is/are
one flashing fireflie(s) in our jar!
Additional: Continue adding fireflies until the jar is filled.
Song: “Counting Sheep” (Tune: “This Old Man”)
Counting sheep, counting sheep
Helps my baby go to sleep
One sheep, two sheep
Three sheep, four —
Soon my baby
Starts to snore!
