Messy & Clean Story Time – Toddler

Opening Song

Book: Little Rabbit Gets Messy by Kathleen Amant

Flannel Song: “Five Pigs So Squeaky Clean” (Tune: “Five Green and Speckled Frogs”)
Five pigs so squeaky clean,
Cleanest you’ve ever seen,
Wanted to go outside and play.
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud,
Landed with a big THUD,
Then there were four clean and squeaky pigs.

Repeat, counting down until there are no clean and squeaky pigs.

The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town!

Scarf Song: “This is the Way”
This is the way we wash our hands,
Wash our hands, wash our hands.
This is the way we wash our hands,
So early in the morning.

Additional verses:
Wash our face…
Brush our teeth…
Brush our hair…
Wave goodbye…

Scarf Song: “We Wave Our Scarves Together”
We wave our scarves together,
We wave our scarves together,
We wave our scarves together,
because it’s fun to do.

Wave them up high,
Wave them down low,
Wave them in the middle,
Because it’s fun to do.
