COOKIES!

Hello Song:
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Wiggle fingers
Wiggle toes
Wiggle shoulders say "Hello"

Book: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff

Relating the cycle of requests a mouse is likely to make after you give him a cookie takes the reader through a young child's day.

Rhyme: "I am Making Cookie Dough"
I am making cookie dough. (hold out arms in circle, like a bowl)
Round and round the beaters go. (roll hands)
Add some flour from a cup. (shake a pretend cup)
Stir and stir the batter up. (stirring motion)
Roll them, cut them nice and neat. (rolling pin motion)
Put them on a cookie sheet. (place pretend cookies)
Bake them, count them 1-2-3. (counting motion)
Serve them to my friends for tea. (take a bite!)

Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Pat your belly
Blink your eyes
Blow a kiss and say "Goodbye"
