Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it and pat it and mark it with a “B”
And put it in the oven for baby and me.

Bumpin’ up and down (bounce baby on lap)

One wheel’s off (tilt baby to the left)
And the axel’s broken

And the axel’s broken
Won’t you be my darlin’ (hug baby)

Five Little Monkeys

(We had a particularly wiggly group, so we jumped up and down as we counted down the monkeys on our fingers).
 
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor,
And the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed

 Band-aid Puppet/Felt

This is an adaptation of Storytime Katies "Band-aids" felt story. Since there are too many kids in my Tuesday storytime to have each of them come up and add a band-aid, instead I pointed to the various parts on the bear and had the kids tell me what body part I was pointing to and what color band-aid I was putting on.
