\nFlannel Board Song<\/h4>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
\nSitting on a speckled log
\nEating a most delicious fly — Yum, Yum!
\nOne jumped into the pool
\nWhere it was nice and cool
\nThen there were four little speckled frogs!<\/p>\n
\nRhymes & Bounces & Songs We Shared without Music<\/h4>\n
\nEyes, nose, cheeky cheeky chin. (touching parts of baby’s face)<\/em>
\nEyes, nose, cheeky cheeky chin.
\nEyes, nose, cheeky cheeky chin.
\nCheeky cheeky cheeky cheeky chin!<\/p>\n
\nPeekaboo, Where are you
\nHiding in your…place! Peekaboo!<\/p>\n
\nAnd your smiling…face! Peekaboo!<\/p>\n
\nOne bright scarf waiting for the wind to blow
\nToss it up high
\nAnd wave it down low
\nWiggle it fast
\nAnd wiggle it slow
\nHey! Where did you go?<\/p>\n
\nMM-AA went the little green frog one day (mimic a frog opening and closing its mouth by closing and opening fingers)<\/em>
\nMM-AA went the little green frog
\nMM-AA went the little green frog one day
\nAnd his little froggy pals went MM-AA, MM-AA, MM-AA-AA.<\/p>\n
\nA little green frog in a pond am I
\nHoppity, hoppity, hop (bounce baby)
\nI sit on a lily leaf high and dry
\nHoppity, hoppity, hop (bounce baby)
\nAnd watch all the fishes as they swim by
\n(wiggle hands or baby)
\nHoppity, hoppity, hop (bounce baby)
\nHow I make the water fly (throw hands up)
\nHoppity, hoppity, hop (bounce baby)
\nSPLASH! (clap hands)<\/p>\n
\nFive little froggies sitting on a wall (bounce baby)
\nOne looked up and down he fell (tip baby over)
\nFroggies jumped high (lift baby up)
\nFroggies jumped low (bring baby down)
\nFroggies dancing to and fro (wiggle)<\/p>\n
\nHands up high! (Put your hands in air)
\n<\/em>Now give a big sigh (sigh and bring hands down)
\n<\/em>Our storytime\u2019s over
\nSo wave bye-bye (wave)<\/em><\/p>\n
