January 14th: Dragon Baby Time
To celebrate National Dragon Day we had a dragon themed Baby Time! National Dragon Day is technically the 16th, so we celebrated a little early.
Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
Five Little Dragons
Tune: Five Little Ducks
A Miss Krissy song
One little dragon went out to play,
On a bright and sunny day.
He had such enormous fun
That he called another little dragon to come.
Roar Roar Roar!
Two little dragons went out to play,
On a bright and sunny day.
They had such enormous fun
That they called another little dragon to come.
Roar Roar Roar!
Three little dragons went out to play,
On a bright and sunny day.
They had such enormous fun
That they called another little dragon to come.
Roar Roar Roar!
Four little dragons went out to play,
On a bright and sunny day.
They had such enormous fun
That they called another little dragon to come.
Roar Roar Roar!
Five little dragons went out to play,
On a bright and sunny day.
They had such enormous fun
But the sun has set and day is done.
Little Bitty Dragon
Tune: Teddy Bear Teddy Bear
A Miss Krissy song
Little bitty dragon reach up high
Little bitty dragon touch the sky
Little bitty dragon kiss your nose
Little bitty dragon tickle your toes
Little bitty dragon bounce for me
Little bitty dragon tickle your knee
Little bitty dragon hug me tight
Little bitty dragon kiss good night
Over in the Kingdom
Tune: Over in the Meadow
A Miss Krissy song
Over in the kingdom in a castle in the sun
Lived an old mother queen and her little prince one
“Bow”, said the mother. “I bow”, said the one
So they bowed and they curtsied in the castle in the sun.
Over in the kingdom where the stream runs through
Lived an old mother mermaid and her little mermaids two
“Swim,” said the mermaid “We swim,” said the two
So they swam and they swam where the stream runs through
Over in the kingdom in a forest in a tree
Lived an old father gnome and his little gnomes three
“Climb”, said the gnome. “We climb,” said the three
So they climbed and they climbed in the forest in a tree.
Over in the kingdom in a cave with a door
Lived an old father dragon and his little dragons four.
“Roar,” said the dragon, “We roar,” said the four
So the little dragons roared in a cave with a door.
Over in the kingdom, very glad to be alive,
lived a knight and his horse and the finished quests five.
“Hurrah!” said the people “Hurrah for the five!”
So the knight went back home with the finished quests five.

Elevator Song

Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
