http://www.kididdles.com/lyrics/b087.html

The buzzing bees love the clover patch,
The flowers, they love the dew,
The little birds love the apple tree,
But I love you!

The sunshine, it kisses the mountainside,
The stars in the sky kiss the sea,
But I’d be the happiest Mom/Dad on earth
If you’d kiss me!

With the chill in the air, Snow seemed like the perfect theme for Baby Time!

Here are the songs and rhymes we used:

Frost is in the Air
http://www.theholidayzone.com/winter/songs.htm
Tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”

The frost is in the air, the frost is in the air.
It’s wintertime, It’s wintertime,
The frost is in the air.

The frost is on the trees, the frost is on the trees.
It’s wintertime, It’s wintertime,
The frost is on the trees.

The frost is on the ground, the frost is on the ground.
It’s wintertime, It’s wintertime,
The frost is on the ground.

So inside I’ll stay, so inside I’ll stay.
Inside it’s nice, and I am warm.
So inside I’ll stay.

Snow Falls
https://babetter.wordpress.com/rhymes-fingerplays/new-two-snow-fingerplays/

Snow falls on my head.
Snow falls on my nose.
Snow falls on my boots
But it doesn’t touch my toes!

Snow falls on my hands.
Snow falls on my hair.
Snow falls on my shoulders.
Snow falls everywhere!

Five Little Snowmen
Tune: Five Little Ducks
Adapted from: http://stepbystepcc.com/snowman2.html

Five little snowmen round and fat.
Each one wearing a funny hat.
In the morning, out came the sun.
It looked down and melted one.
(lean baby over to the side)

Four * Three * Two * One

But do not worry.  Do not fear.
The snowmen will all come back next year.

Hill of Snow
http://www.preschoolexpress.com/music_station03/music_station_jan03.shtml

Climb, climb, climb up the hill of snow.
(Let fingers walk up your arm or bent leg.)
Jump on our sleds down we go.
Weeee!
(Let fingers slide down your arm or leg.)

Snowball
By Shel Silverstein

I made myself a snow ball
as perfect as could be.
I thought I’d keep it as a pet
and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
and a pillow for it’s head.
Then, last night it ran away.
But first — it wet the bed.

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.

Today is someone’s birthday,
let’s make a cake.

Then into the oven to bake
Here’s our cake so nice and round,
We frost it pink and white
We put the candles on it, to make a birthday light.

Birthday Candles

Up on the cake.

So don’t be late.

First we’ll light the candles,
Then we’ll blow,
Huff, huff, puff, puff,
Out they go!

Ten Little Candles

Ten little candles on a chocolate cake
“Wh! Wh! Now there are eight.

Eight little candles on candlesticks
“Wh! Wh! Now there are six.

Six little candles and not one more
“Wh! Wh! Now there are four.

Four little candles, red, white, and blue
“Wh! Wh! Now there are two.

Two little candles, make a wish and your done!
“Wh! Wh! Now there are none.

Take me out for some ice cream,
Take me out to the store.
Buy me a triple scoop jumbo cone.
Just one flavor can’t be all alone!

For its scoop, scoop,

Three flavors I adore!
For it’s one, two, three scoops to go
At the ice cream store!

My Favorite Songs and Rhymes:

Something in My Pocket
Tune: Miss Susie Had a Turtle
http://wiki.kcls.org/tellmeastory/index.php/I%27ve_Got_Something_in_My_Pocket

I’ve got something in my pocket,
It belongs across my face.

If you guess a long, long while.
So I’ll take it out and put it on –
It’s a great big happy smile!

Sleeping Bunnies

Shall we wake them with a merry tune?

Hop little bunnies, Hop little bunnies Hop little bunnies – Hop, hop, hop

Five Baby Penguins
Taken from: Storytime crafts by Kathryn Totten page 84

One baby penguin makes a wish.
Two baby penguins catch a fish.
Three baby penguins slip and slide.
Four baby penguins run and hide.
Five baby penguins look around, calling  …
Now they are found.

Have You Ever Seen a Penguin
Tune: “Have You Ever Seen a Lassie”
The Big Book of Reading, Rhyming, and Resources by Beth Maddigan

Have you ever seen a penguin,
a penguin, a penguin,
Have you ever seen a penguin
swim this way and that?
Swim this way and that way
And this way and that way.
Have you ever seen a penguin
swim this way and that?
