And mark it with a “B,” (make the letter B on baby’s tummy)
And put it in the oven for Baby and me! (hands flat, then point to baby, then you)

Song: “Make a Circle, Draw a Square” (Tune: “Oh My Darling Clementine”)
Make a circle, make a circle, draw it in the sky.
Use your finger, use your finger, make it round as pie.

Make a square, make a square, make the lines so straight.
Draw a square, draw a square, draw one or draw eight.

Draw a triangle, draw a triangle, always start at the top.
Make a tent, make a tent, use three lines and then stop!

Flannel: “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 of the board)
Now there are three.

Three pieces of pie
For me, too.
I ate another piece,
Now there are two.

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

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

Song: “This Is the Way We Make a Pie”
This is the way we slice the pumpkin, slice the pumpkin, slice the pumpkin,
This is the way we slice the pumpkin to make a yummy pie.

Additional verses:
Pour the flour
Roll the dough
Stir the filling
Sprinkle spices
Bake our pie
Eat a slice

But don’t take away
My alligator pie.
