Violets are blue
Press, press, press the
paper
Sugar is sweet
Here's a valentine for
you!
And so are you!
Come-A-Look-A-See
I'm A Little Valentine (sing to "I'm a Little
Teapot")
Come a look a
see
I'm a little valentine,
Here's my mama (wiggle
thumb)
Red and white
Come a look a
see
With ribbons and lace
Here's my papa (wiggle
pointer)
I'm a beautiful sight
Come a look a
see
I can say "I Love You"
Brother tall (wiggle middle
finger) On
Valentine's
Day
Sister, baby (wiggle ring finger &
pinkie) Just put me in
an envelope
We love them all! (fold hands and kiss
thumb) And give me away!
Look Who's Coming
Little Miss Dimble
(clap & bounce to rhyme)
Look who's coming down the walk (shade eyes with
hand) Little Miss Dimble
Oh, please, Mr. Mailman, won't you stop? (wave
hand) Lived in a thimble
With a knock, knock, knock (pretend to
knock) Slept in a measuring spoon
Anyone at home? (cup and around
mouth) She met a mosquito
A
Valentine for you has come! (hold up pretend
valentine) And called him "My Sweet-o"
And married him under the moon

One for grandma

I love you
One for sister, one for brother
(repeat)
And here is one for
you
I love you in the morning and in the afternoon
(make heart
with thumbs and index fingers) I
love you in the evening, underneath the moon
Oh, Skinnamarinky dinky dink
Skinnamarinky do
I love you
Say

hug
