Flannel: “One Whole Pie”
One whole pie
Set by the door,
Cut into pieces,
I count four.

Four pieces of pie,
All for us,
Panda ate one piece, (make loud eating sounds as you take the piece off the board)
Now there are three.

Three pieces of pie
All for us,
Parrot ate another piece,
Now there are two.

Two pieces of pie,
Oh! What fun!
T-Rex ate another piece,
Now there is one.

One piece of pie,
I can’t wait!
I ate that last piece,
Empty plate!

Rhyme: Making Cookies
I am making cookie dough. (hold out arms in a circle, like a bowl)
Round and round the beaters go. (roll hands)
Add some flour from a cup. (shake a pretend cup)
Stir and stir the batter up. (stirring motion)
Roll them, cut them nice and neat. (rolling pin motion)
Put them on a cookie sheet. (place pretend cookies)
Bake them, count them 1-2-3. (counting motion)
Serve them to my friends for tea. (take a bite!)

Flannel:  Five Plates of Cookies
Five plates of cookies – I can’t bake any more!
Give one away, and now there are four.
Four plates of cookies, colorful to see;
Give one away, and now there are three.
Three plates of cookies, shall I give one to you?
I think I will, and now there are two.
Two plates of cookies for lots of fun.
Give one away, and now there is one.
One plate of cookies left, as you can plainly see –
That is the one I’m taking home with me!

Rhyme: Homemade Gingerbread
Stir a bowl of gingerbread,
Smooth and spicy brown.

Up and up and down.
With a cookie cutter,
Make some little men.
Put them in the oven,
Till half past ten.
