Flannel Rhyme: “One Whole Pie”
One whole pie,
Set by the door,
Cut into pieces,
I count four.
Four pieces of pie,
All for me,
I ate one piece, (make loud eating sounds as you take the piece off the board)
Now there are three.
Three pieces of pie
For panda bear,
Panda bear ate another piece,
Now there are two.
Two pieces of pie,
Oh! What fun!
Parrot ate another piece,
Now there is one.
One piece of pie,
I can’t wait!
Dinosaur ate that last piece,
Empty plate!
