Five Little Seashells

Five little seashells, lying on the shore.
Swish went the waves. Then there were four.

Four little seashells, pretty as can be.
Swish went the waves. Then there were three.

Three little seashells, all pearly new.
Swish went the waves. Then there were two.

Two little seashells, lying in the sun.
Swish went the waves. Then there was one.

One little seashell, lying all alone.
I said Shhhh as I took it home.

Action Songs & Bounces We Shared

We share a lot of songs, bounces & rhymes during storytime!
You’ll find lyrics/words to those songs & rhymes we shared without CD accompaniment here.

Two Little Boats

Two little boats are on the sea
All is calm as calm can be
Gently the wind begins to blow
Two little boats rock to and fro
Loudly the wind begins to shout
Two little boats are tossed about
Gone is the wind, the storm, the rain
Two little boats sail on again
