Songs About Your Body:

In My Mirror

Where is Thumbkin?

In my mirror I can see

Two little eyes that look at me.

Two little ears, one little nose,

Ten little fingers, ten little toes.

One little mouth I open wide

Two little rows of teeth hidden inside.

A tongue that pops both in and out,

Lots of joints that bend about.

When I look in the mirror, what do I see?

A beautiful person looking back at me!

Where is Thumbkin? Where is Thumbkin? Here I am, here I am. How are you today? Very well, thank you. Go away, go away. Where is Pointer? Where is Pointer? Here I am, here I am. How are you today? Very well, thank you. Go away, go away. Where is Ring Man? Where is Ring Man? Here I am, here I am. How are you today? Very well, thank you. Go away, go away. Where is Small Man? Where is Small Man? Here I am, here I am. How are you today? Very well, thank you. Go away, go away.

Songs Continued:

Ten Little Fingers

Body Parts Song

I have ten fingers and they all belong to me (hold hands up) I can make them do things Would you like to see? I can shut them up tight (form fist) Or open them wide (hold fingers out) I can put them together or make them all hide (Close both fists) I can make them jump high (put hands over head) I can make them go low (put hands down) I can fold them quietly and hold them just so (put hands in lap)

My Hands Upon My Head I Place

On My Shoulders

On My Face

At My Waist and By My Side

Then Behind Me They Will Hide

Now I Raise Them Up So High

Make my Fingers Fly, Fly, Fly

Now I Clap Them 1-2-3

Then I Fold Them Quietly
