Flannel:  Five Little Dragons
One little dragon with scales of blue;
Ran to meet the green one,
And then there were two.

Two little dragons sitting under a tree;
The red dragon joined them,
And then there were three.

Three little dragons, wishing there were more;
Along came the purple dragon,
And then there were four.

Four little dragons, happy to be alive;
Found a orange dragon,
And then there were five.

Five little dragons all out to play;
“Watch out, they breathe fire,” is all I have to say.

Everyone can tap, tap, tap

Song: “Grand Old Duke of York” (Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)
The grand old Duke of York                                   (bounce baby)
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill               (lift baby)
And marched them down again.

‘Cause when you’re up you’re up                           (lift baby)
And when you’re down you’re down
And when you’re only halfway up                          (lift baby)
You’re neither up nor down.

He marched them to the left                                   (bounce left)
He marched them to the right                                 (bounce right)
He marched them to the top of the hill                   (lift baby)
Oh, what a silly sight!

While we count to six. 1-2-3-4-5-6!

Jumping then we wait.
We stop our jumping
While we count to eight. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8!

Jumping once again.
But we’ll be finished
Once we count to ten. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!

Book: Thelma the Unicorn by Aaron Blabey

Flannel: Five Little Unicorns
 I saw five little unicorns – creatures from folklore.
I watched the blue one prance away and then there were four.
I saw four little unicorns resting by a tree,
I watched the orange one prance away, and then there were three.
I saw three little unicorns, but as near to them I drew,
The green one pranced away, and then there were two.
I saw two little unicorns – I watched them run and run.
The red one pranced away, and then there was one.
I saw a lonely purple unicorn standing in the sun.
When I blinked my eyes, it pranced away, and then there were none!
