Lost or Missing Toys

Lost or Missing Toys

 Talk: Show kids a couple examples of favorite toys- teddy bear, a bunny or a stuffed blue dog! These toys are beloved and are probably dragged along just about anywhere. But as you as a parent or teacher know they can also quickly be misplaced and cause all sorts of grief to that child
until happily found again.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Turn around,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Touch the ground.

Dance on your toes,
Teddy bear, teddy bear.
Touch your nose.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Stand on your head,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Go to bed.

Say goodnight,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Turn out the light.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Wake up now,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
Take a bow.

Blue Bird, Bluebird  (I made clipart laminated birds on a Popsicle stick to use with the kids for this song)

Bluebird, bluebird, through my window.
