Especially for Babies

Babies adore stories, songs and fingerplays - learning and being loved as they learn on a loved one's lap - or in company with other children!

A Kiss - a rhyme to kiss your baby
A Kiss
A kiss when I wake in the morning.
A kiss when I go to bed,
A kiss when I burn my fingers,
A kiss when I bump my head.
A kiss when my bath begins,
A kiss when my bath is over,
My mamma (or papa) is as full of kisses
As a field is full of clover.

Five Babies Fingerplay
Five Little Babies
One little baby rocking in a tree.
(Hold up 1 finger, rock arms)
Two little babies splashing in the sea.
(Hold up 2 fingers, pretend to splash)
Three little babies crawling on the floor.
(Hold up 3 fingers, make crawling motion)
Four little babies knocking on the door.
(Hold up 4 fingers, pretend to knock)
Five little babies playing "hide and seek."
(Hold up 5 fingers, cover eyes)
Keep your eyes closed now, until I say....PEEK!
