Poster Song: “Hey, Diddle, Diddle”
Rhyme: “Tiptoe Soft” by Margaret Hillert
Tiptoe soft as a tiny cat,
Soft on little cat feet.
Flap your wings like a baby bird.
Open your beak for a treat.
Clomp, clomp, clomp like a big old horse.
Pick up a hoof, and then
Tip, tip, tip on the tips of your toes,
Soft as a cat again.
Song: “If You’re a Kitty and You Know It” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re a kitty and you know it, lick your paws. (pretend to lick paws)
If you’re a kitty and you know it, lick your paws. (pretend to lick paws)
If you’re a kitty and you know it, and you really want to show it.
If you’re a kitty and you know it, lick your paws. (pretend to lick paws)
Additional verses:
Show your claws (show claws)
Swish your tail (wiggle bottom)
Say “Meow!”

Song: “I Know a Cat” (Tune: “B-I-N-G-O”)
I know a cat with perky ears, and Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, and Kitty is her name-o.
She makes a sound and it’s “Meow”, and Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, and Kitty is her name-o.
Book: Where Is Tippy Toes? by Betsy Lewin
Rhyme: “Can You Meow Like Me” (make appropriate noises)
Meow very loudly.
Meow like a giant cat.
Meow in a squeaky voice.
Meow like a scared cat.
Meow like a happy cat.
Meow like a sad cat.
Meow like an angry cat.
Meow in a whisper voice.
