April 1st: Frog Baby Time
It’s no April Fool’s joke, today’s Baby Time was all about Frogs. Speaking of jokes, I’ll add in all the frog jokes on a separate post. If you have any good frog jokes, let me know!
Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
Five Little Frogs
http://www.hummingbirded.com/frogs.html
Five little froggies sitting on a well
One leaned over and down he fell.
Froggies jumped high
Froggies jumped low.
Froggies jumped everywhere!
(Four… Three… Two… One…)
No little froggies sitting on the well
Bossy Frog

Tune: Bossy Frog
Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song
He said arms up …… Arms down
Clap your hands …… And bounce around
Arms up …… Arms down
Clap your hands …… And bounce around
Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song
He said touch your nose …… Touch your toes
Tap your knees …… Tickle please
Touch your nose …… Touch your toes
Tap your knees …… Tickle please
Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song
Six Little Frogs
Adapted from Six Little Ducks
Tune: Six Little Ducks
Six little frogs that I once knew,
Green ones, brown ones, red ones, too.
But the one bullfrog with the freckles on his throat,
He ruled them all with a
croak, croak, croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
He ruled them all with a Croak Croak Croak.
Down to the blue pond they would go,
Hop, jump, hop, jump, to and fro.
But the one bullfrog with the freckles on his throat,
He ruled them all with a
croak, croak, croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
He ruled them all with a Croak Croak Croak.
Sleeping Froggies

Tune: Sleeping Bunnies
See the little froggies sleep till nearly noon
Shall we wake them with a merry tune?
They`re so still, are they ill?
Wake up little froggies!
Hop little froggies, Hop little froggies
Hop little froggies – Hop, hop, hop
Hop little froggies, Hop little froggies
Hop little froggies – Hop, hop, hop…
Fa la la, lalalala, fa la la lala la la la
Fa la la, lalalala, fa la la lala la la la

Elevator Song
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand <em>
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!
