Take some ideas from our Mother Goose Storytime.
Do these rhymes in the car, while waiting for dinner at the restaurant, as a wake-up routing after nap time, or on the changing table.
Please don't forget inquire about future Mother Goose programs at
Henry Ford Centennial Library and Snow Branch Library

Hello Song
(Melody:
Hi, hello and how are you?
How are you? How are you?
Hi, hello and how are you?
How are you to-day?
These are Baby’s Fingers
These are baby’s fingers
(Kiss or touch fingers.)
These are baby’s toes.
(Kiss or touch toes.)
This is baby’s belly button,
(Touch belly.)
Round and round it goes.
(Circle belly button.)
Jack Frost
Jack Frost is very small,
(Show smallness with thumb and pointer.)
I’m sure he is out today.
He nipped my nose
(Point to nose.)
And pinched my toes
(Point to toes.)
When I went out to play.
Put Your Finger On Your Shirt
(Melody: If You’re Happy and You Know It)
Put your finger on your shirt, on your shirt.
Put your finger on your shirt, on your shirt.
Put your finger on your shirt,
Put your finger on your shirt,
Put your finger on your shirt, on your shirt.
On your pants…
On your shoes…
Your Nose Knows
(Point to body parts)
What does your nose know?
Your nose knows
It's got two eyes above it.
Your nose knows
It's got one mouth below it.
Your nose knows
It's got two ears beside it.
That's what your nose knows!
Butterfly Kiss
A butterfly
Fluttered by
And gave a kiss
Just like this.
Five Little Peas
Five little peas in a pea-pod pressed,
(Hold up fist.)
One grew, two grew, and so did all the rest.
(Open fingers slowly.)
They grew and they grew and they did not stop,
(Stretch all the fingers out.)
Until one day the pod went POP!
(Clap hands together.)
Father & Mother & Uncle John
(Baby faces room on adult's lap.)
Father & Mother & Uncle John
(Gently bounce baby)
went to the market one by one.
(Gently bounce baby)
Father fell off.
(Lean baby left.)
Mother fell off,
(Lean baby right.)
But Uncle John went on & on & on....
(Gently bounce baby faster & faster.)
Warm Hands Warm
Warm hands, warm,
(Rub hands together.)
Do you know how?
If you want to warm your hands,
Blow on them now.
(Blow gently on clasped hands.)
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Here's my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
(Roll hands.)
All the King’s horses
(Wiggle fingers on one hand.)
And all the King’s men
(Wiggle fingers on other hand.)
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
(Fold hands together.)
Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush
Here we go round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush,
Here we go round the mulberry bush,
On a cold and frosty morning.
This is the way we brush our teeth...
This is the way we comb our hair...
