Oh

gone
After my bath I try,

Oh where, oh where can he
be To rub myself
till I’m dry, dry, dry (rub arms)
With his ears cut short and his tail cut
long Just think how much less time it
would take
Oh where, oh where can he
be If I were a dog,
And could shake, shake shake! (shake body)
Call the Cat and Dog
Call the cat (cup hands

Till it shines like
silk
B-I-N-G-O!
Call the dog (cup hands

This old man came rolling home. (roll hands)

Biscuit Dog 
Instructions
for making a magnet using a dog biscuit.
Materials Needed:
1
Dog
Biscuit Felt
2 Wiggle Eyes Glue
2 small Pom-poms 1 Red Seed Bead
4 medium Pom-poms 1 self adhesive magnet strip
Instructions:
Cut 2 ear shapes out of felt. Glue them onto the dog biscuit. Glue on
wiggle eyes. Place 2 small (1/4 to 1/2 inch) pom-poms side by side
just below the eyes. Glue on a red seed bead for the nose.
Glue 4 medium
pom-poms on to be the feet of the dog (figure 3). Some optional
finishing touches: add a collar and tag using scrap felt, ribbon, or
beads and glue a magnet strip to the back.
Note:
by first painting the biscuit with shellac, a thin layer of glue, or
other varnish may help keep the biscuit from crumbling and may help
the completed magnet last longer.
