DD would love any rhyme at all, especially if it had actions, like I'm a little teapot. She was into Hi-5 and learning all the moves which I would have to do with her as well.
Here is one of my personal favourites. If DD is cranky with me, I sing this and she says "I know you trying to make me happy and smile" Only takes a minute or two and she starts singing it with me. Problem is, I can't stop thinking of the song for the rest of they day LOL!!
I just copied this from the abc kids website, I think the words were a little bit different when DD was little?
If all the world were paper
If all the world were paper,
What a strange world it would be
With paper clouds and paper sun and paper bird in paper tree
Hey hey hey!
You'd stand and stare if there was nothing but paper everywhere
Hey hey hey!
What would you do if everything was paper and so were you.
How would the paper houses stand
When the wind begins to blow?
How would you drive a paper car
and how would paper flowers grow?
Hey hey hey!
You'd stand and stare if there was nothing but paper everywhere
Hey hey hey!
What would you do if everything was paper and so were you.
i don't know if this is the right spot to post this, but i took my ds1 who is two to his first session of mini maestros this morning. if anyone else out there (all of us i am sure) has a littlie that loves to sing and dance then i highly recommend it. it was absolutely brilliant. my ds1 has been buzzing all morning from the songs and dances he has already learnt.
Here are 2 that I wrote myself. We sing in the bath and I keep running out of songs before the bath is over.
The Little Mer-man
Deep beneath the ocean
Far beneath the sea
lives a little merman
who's much like you and me
He has ten little fingers
and a little button nose,
but down where his feet should be
there's fins instead of toes
oh funny little merman
swimming in the sea
funny little merman
he's just like you and me
he has a bright red mouth to kiss
and little shell like ears
and a mummy and a daddy
to take away his fears
oh funny little merman
swimming in the sea
funny little merman
he's much like you and me
he has two bright blue eyes to see
and light brown wavey hair
he has two arms to hold you tight
and lots of love to share
funny little merman
swimming in the sea
funny little merman
he's much like you and me
he has ten little fingers
and a little button nose
but down where his feet should be
there's fins instead of toes.
Little Black penguin
Little back penguin
sitting on a rock
little black penguin
started to hop
he hop hopped left
he hop hopped right
he hopped all day
and he hopped all night
