Babies
| Rhyme: "Two Little Eyes" | |
| Two little eyes to look around, | point to baby's eyes |
| Two little ears to hear each sound, | point to baby's ears |
| One little nose to smell what’s sweet, | point to baby's nose |
| And one little mouth that likes to eat! | point to baby's mouth |
Toddlers
| Rhyme: "The Little Turtle" | |
| There was a little turtle, | make a fist |
| He lived in a box | make a square with your fingers |
| He swam in a puddle, | swim with your hands |
| He climbed on the rocks. | climb with your hands |
| He snapped at a mosquito, | "snap!" or clap palms together |
| He snapped at a flea, | "snap!" or clap palms together |
| He snapped at a minnow, | "snap!" or clap palms together |
| And he snapped at me. | "snap!" or clap palms together |
| He caught the mosquito, | close fingers into a fist |
| He caught the flea, | close fingers into a fist |
| He caught the minnow, | close fingers into a fist |
| But he didn't catch ME! | throw hands up in the air! |

| Rhyme: "Lady Bugs" | |
| I saw a little lady bug flying in the air, | "fly" with one hand |
| But when I tried to catch her, two bugs were there. | hold up two fingers |
| Two little lady bugs flew up in a tree. | hold up two fingers |
| I tiptoed very quietly, and then I saw three. | hold up three fingers |
| Three little lady bugs--I looked for one more. | hold up three fingers |
| I saw one sitting on the ground, that made four. | hold up four fingers |
| Four little lady bugs--another one arrived. | hold up four fingers |
| She was sitting on a flower, and that made five. | hold up three fingers |
| Five little lady bugs, all red and black-- | hold up five fingers |
| I clapped my hands and shouted, | clap hands |
| and they all flew back! | "fly" with both hands |
