Songs & Rhymes to share:

The (New) Old Woman                                                             Mommy's Hands

There was an old woman                                                            Mommy's hands are soft and warm

who lived in a shoe                                                                     (gently rub hands together)

She had so many children                                                          To tuck me in at night

she knew just  what to do                                                           (pretend to tuck in blankets)

She gave them some broth                                                         Mommy's arms are kind and firm

and a big slice of bread                                                               (spread arms wide)

Kissed them all soundly                                                                         To hug me snug and tight

and tucked them in bed                                                              (give a big hug)

 

 

Mommy's Baby                                                                                  Come-A-Look-A-See  (wiggle fingers)

(Sing to "Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah")                          Come-a-look-a-see here's my mama    (thumb)

Mommy's little baby is ________________                                             Come-a-look-a-see here's my papa              (pointer)

Cutest little baby I kno-o-o-ow ________                                                Come-a-look-a-see brother tall     (middle)

And she loves him / her so!                                                                    Sister, baby       (ring finger, pinky)

  - or -                                                                                                   We love them all!              (weave fingers together & kiss hands)

Mommy's big boy / girl is ______________                                             

Greatest big boy/ girl I know-o-o-ow....

                                                                                                                           In Mommy's Lap

                                                                                                                           I love to snuggle in Mommy's lap            

Moms are Best                                                                                                    And squeeze her tight like this

Teddy bears are nice to clutch                                                                               (hug self)

To hold, to feel, to love, to touch    (pretend to hug and pet toy bear)                           I love to tell her, "I love you"

But  mommies are the best of all                                                                              With a great big kiss   (blow a kiss)

To hug and kiss when you are small  (give a big hug and kiss)
