Tiny
Tim
I had a little turtle,
His name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water,
He ate up all the soap,
He woke up in the morning,
With bubbles in his throat.
Little
Turtle
There was a little turtle, who lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle, and he climbed on some
rocks,
He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow, and he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea,
He caught the minnow, but he didn't catch me!!
When
the Leaves Are on the Ground
When the leaves are on the ground,
Instead of on the trees,
I like to make a great big pile of them
Way up to my knees.
I like to run and jump in them
And kick them all around.

Little A, Bouncing B
Big A (Open baby's arms wide)
