Songs and rhymes to share:

Bathtime  By Raffi                                         Rubber Duckie  from “Bathtime Magic”  by Joanie Bartels

                                                                                          Rubber duckie you’re the one, you make bathtime so much fun

Three Bubbles                                                              Rubber duckie I’m awfully fond of you, Vo-vo vodeo

A small bubble                                                               Rubber duckie joy of joys, when I squeeze you, you make noise

(make a circle with your hands)                   Rubber duckie you’re my very best friend it’s true

A medium sized bubble                                                  * Oh everyday when I make my way to the tubby

            (make a larger circle with your hands)                  I find a little fellow so cute and yellow and chubby

A great big bubble I see                                                  Rub-a-dub dubbie

            (make a large circle with your arms)                    Rubber duckie you’re so fine and I’m happy that you’re mine

Now let’s count them, are you ready?                              Rubber duckie I’m awfully fond of you

1 –2 – 3  (make 3 circles again)                                                  (repeat from *)

POP!    (clap hands loudly once)

 

After My Bath                                                                      Washing   (sing to “Head Shoulders Knees and Toes”)                                                   

After my bath I try , try, try                                                    Wash your head, and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

To rub myself ‘till I’m dry, dry, dry                                    Wash your head, and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

            (pretend to rub body with a towel)                        Eyes and ears and mouth and nose

Hands to dry and fingers and toes                                   Wash your head, and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

Two wet legs and one shiny nose

            (point to body parts)                                               This is the way we wash (sing to “Mulberry Bush”& name body parts)

Just think how much less time it would take                          This is the way we wash our _____, wash our _____, wash our _____

If I were a dog and could shake, shake, shake!                     This is the way we wash our _____, so early in the morning / evening

            (shake body)

 

Say it in sign!    

Bath = rub your closed hands up and down lightly on your chest as though washing
