Songs

Up, Down, Turn Around

Up, down, turn around.

Touch the sky and touch the ground.

Tickle your tummy, tickle your nose,

Blow a kiss and say, "Hello!"

--Jim Thomas

Mr. Sun 
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun

Won’t you please shine down on me?
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun

Hiding behind a tree.

These little children are asking you

To please come out so they can

Play with you.
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun

Won’t you please shine down on me?

--Traditional

They’re a Part of Me

Here’s a Ball

*Check out my Flannel Friday post on this rhyme.

Humpty Dumpty Up

Humpty Dumpty up and Humpty Dumpty down.

Humpty Dumpty left and Humpty Dumpty right.

Humpty Dumpty all around!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

Poor Humpty Dumpty!
--Jim Thomas
