Fingerplay: “Here is the Beehive”
Here is the beehive,
But where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Soon they’ll come creeping out of the hive.
One! Two! Three! Four! Five!
BZZZZZZ!!!!! Back in the hive, bees!
Fingerplay: “Round and Round the Garden”
Round and round the garden,
Like a teddy bear, (trace baby’s hand)
One step, two steps,
A tickle under there! (crawl up their arm and tickle armpit)
Song: “Ten Little Flowers”
One little, two little, three little flowers,
Four little, five little, six little flowers,
Seven little, eight little, nine little flowers,
Ten flowers in the spring.
Give them rain and lots of sunshine,
Give them rain and lots of sunshine,
Give them rain and lots of sunshine,
So they’ll grow up tall.
