I’m a little baby

Tune: I’m a little teapot

I’m a little baby
I fly high
Here’s the floor and here is the sky
Like a little bird of a butterfly
Now up! I go I’m flying high!

Incy Wincy Spider

(Baby lies on back on your knees)
Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout
(walk fingers up baby’s body)
Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out
(walk fingers down baby’s body)
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
(circular motion for sun)
And Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again
(walk fingers up baby’s body)

Jack be Nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jump over

Wibble wobble
Jelly on a plate

Sweeties in a jar

Shake them up
Shake them up
Sweeties in a jar

Candles on a cake
Candles on a cake
Blow them out
Puff, puff, puff,
Candles on a cake
