Kitty (stroke fist with other hand)

Soft kitty, warm kitty

Little ball of fur

Pretty kitty, sleepy kitty

Purr, purr, purr

My Cat

(stroke fist with other hand)

There must be a motor inside of my cat

What else could it be that would sound just like that?

I've learned how to start it by rubbing her fur

But I never learned how to turn off the purr!

I have a little turtle (make a fist – stick out thumb)

He lives in a box (draw square in the air)

He swims in the puddles (pretend to swim)

And climbs on the rocks (pretend to climb)

He snapped at a mosquito (pinch with fingers in air)

He snapped at a flea

He snapped at a minnow

And he snapped at me!

He caught the mosquito (clap hands once)

He caught the flea

He caught the minnow

But he didn’t catch me! (shake head "no")

If I Were a Dog

After my bath I try, try, try

To rub myself till I’m dry, dry, dry (rub arms)

Just think how much less time it would take

If I were a dog

And could shake, shake shake! (shake body)

Call the Cat and Dog

Call the cat (cup hands around mouth)

And give her some milk (pretend to pour)

Brush her coat (pretend to brush)

Till it shines like silk

Call the dog (cup hands around mouth)

Give him a bone (extend hand)

Take him for a walk (walk fingers)

Then take him home (form roof shape with fingers)

This old man
This old man, he played one, (hold up one finger)
He played knick-knack on my thumb. (tap fists together)
With a knick-knack, paddy whack, (roll hands)
Give a dog a bone (hold hand out front, palm up)
This old man came rolling home. (roll hands)
…This old man, he played two, He played knick-knack on my shoe. (tap shoe)
This old man, he played three, He played knick-knack on my knee. (tap knee)
This old man, he played four, He played knick-knack on the floor. (tap on floor)
This old man, he played five, He played knick-knack on my side. (tap side)

Oh Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone

Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone

Oh where, oh where can he be

With his ears cut short and his tail cut long

Oh where, oh where can he be

B-I-N-G-O
There was a farmer had a dog,
And Bingo was his name-o.
B-I-N-G-O!
B-I-N-G-O!
B-I-N-G-O!
And Bingo was his name-o!

The Puppy and the Kitty Cat
Here is a little puppy (Hold up left fist)
Here is a kitty cat (Hold up right fist)
Puppy goes to sleep (Put clenched fist, fingers down on lap)
Curled up on his mat.
Kitty creeps up softly, (Move fingers of right hand slowly toward left hand)
Tickles puppies chin (Tickle thumb of left hand with finger of right hand)
Puppy wakes up quickly! (Lift left fist)
See the chase begin! (Have left fist "chase" right.)

Black cat, black cat up in the tree  (look up)

Black cat, black cat staring at me (circle hands around eyes)

Black cat, black cat you come down from there (shake finger)

Black cat, black cat you gave me a scare!  (put hands on hips & shake head)

One little, two little, three little kittens (hold up 3 fingers)

Were napping in the sun (bend fingers down)

One little, two little, three little puppies (hold up 3 fingers

Said "come lets have some fun!" of other hand)

Up to the kittens the puppies went creeping (creep puppies)

As quiet as quiet could be

One little, two little, three little kittens

Went scampering up a tree (move fingers quickly up)

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.
