Songs

Peek-a-boo

· Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo

(Cover face with hands two times)

· I see you! I see you!

(Point to children)

· I see your button nose

(Point to nose)

· I see your tiny toes

· (Point to toes)

· I see you! Peek-a-boo!

(Cover face with hand two times)

 

“One Finger”

· One finger

· One thumb

· One arm

· One leg

· One nod of the head

· And fall into bed!

(Pick baby up and bring down to your lap)

 

I Love You

· I love you

· Your button nose

· Your eyes, your ears,

· Your knees and toes.

· I love you

· Up to the sky

· Past the moon

· And stars so high,

· If you feel alone and scared,

· Always know that I’ll be there,

· Just like one and one makes two,

· You love me

· And I love you.

Ending Song

 

“Clap, Clap, Clap your Hands”

· Clap, clap clap your hands

· Clap your hands together

· Clap, clap, clap your hands

· Clap, your hands together

· Bounce, bounce, bounce up high

· Bounce, up high together

· Bounce, bounce, bounce up high

· Bounce, up high together

· Give, give, give a hug

· Give a hug together

· Give, give, give a hug

· Give a hug together

· Wave, wave, wave good-bye

· Wave good-bye together

· Wave, wave, wave good-bye

· Wave good-bye together
