Wee Read - Bumble Bees

Early Literacy Tip of the Week: Relax and have fun! It's okay if your baby crawls or moves away - she will still hear and benefit from your voice.

Good Morning

Hello, How are You?

Bumble Bee

Sung to: "Jingle Bells"

Bumble Bee, bumble bee,

Landing on my nose,

Bumble bee, bumble bee,

Now he's on my toes.

On my arms, on my legs,

On my elbows.

Bumble bee, oh bumble bee

He lands, and then he goes.
