Song: “This Little Train”
This little train ran up the track, (trail fingers up baby’s arm to shoulder)
It went Choo Choo! (tap baby’s nose)
And then it ran back. (trail fingers back down baby’s arm)

The other little train ran up the track, (trail fingers up baby’s other arm)
It went Choo Choo! (tap baby’s nose)
And then it ran back. (trail fingers back down baby’s arm)
