Songs and rhymes to share:
Oh Me Oh My (actions follow words)
At breakfast time
Milk spilled on my blanket
Oh Me Oh My!
Have to wash my blanket (pretend to wash)
And hang it out to dry (reach arms up to hang blanket)
At lunch time
Peanut butter got on my blanket
Oh Me Oh My!
Have to wash my blanket
And hang it out to dry
At snack time
Banana smeared on my blanket
Oh Me Oh My!
Have to wash my blanket
And hang it out to dry
At dinner time
Spaghetti sauce dripped on my blanket
Oh Me Oh My!
Have to wash my blanket
And hang it out to dry
At bedtime
Cookie crumbs dropped on my blanket
Oh Me Oh My!
Have to shake my blanket out (pretend to shake out blanket)
No time to wash or dry (shake head "no")
I need my blanket (pretend to hug blanket)
It’s time for beddy bye! (pretend to sleep)
Fuzzy Wuzzy Blanket (sing to the "Oscar Mayer
Weiner" song)
Oh I wish I was a fuzzy wuzzy blanket
That is what I’d truly like to be
Cause if I was a fuzzy wuzzy blanket
Everyone would snuggle up with me!
Sewing a Quilt
I have a needle (pretend to hold a needle)
And I have some thread (pull thread off a spool)
And I have a pair of scissors (pretend fingers are scissors)
To sew a quilt for my bed (pretend to sew)
Each piece of fabric
I’ll cut into a square (pretend to cut)
Then I’ll sew them together (pretend to sew)
To make a quilt for the fair! (pretend to hold up quilt)
My Blanket
My blanket is worn and in tatters (hug pretend blanket)
But none of that really matters (shake head "no")
My blanket is faded and old (rub pretend blanket on cheek)
But to me it’s as precious as gold (place hands over heart)
