Its heart was all a-flutter,

Around the bend came number ten…

Toot toot! Peanut Butter!

Spider on the Floor (tune of Happy and You Know It)

There’s a spider on the floor on the floor

Who could ask for anymore than a spider on the floor

There’s a spider on the floor on the floor

Other verses: Spider on my leg- he’s really really big

Spider on my belly- he thinks it’s made of jelly

Spider on my arm- I hope he’ll do no harm

Spider on my neck- I’m gonna be a wreck

Spider on my face- what a big disgrace

Spider on my head- if there’s one thing I dread

I Have a Little Spider

I have a little spider and I’m very fond of him

He crawls up to my shoulder, and then up to my chin.

He crawls down my arm, and then down my leg

Now he’s a tired little spider….(yawn)…so I put him to bed.

Snowman Fingerplay

Roll him and roll him until he is big,

Roll him until he is round like a pig!

He has two eyes, and a hat on his head,

He’ll stand there all night, ‘til we go to bed.

Baby Beluga (usually sung with ocean drum in class)

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
Baby beluga, baby beluga,
Is the water warm? Is your mama home,
With you so happy?
Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where you dive and splash all day,
Waves roll in and the waves roll out.
See the water squirting out of your spout.
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
Sing your little song, sing for all your friends.
We like to hear you.
When it's dark, you're home and fed.
Curled up snug in your waterbed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out.
Good night, little whale, good night.
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
With tomorrow's sun, another day's begun.
You'll soon be waking.
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
You're just a little white whale on the go.
