1, 2, 3 Go! This Little Piggy

One of the first learning concepts children are exposed to are numbers and counting.  Counting aloud not only introduces new sounds and words, but also creates a stimulating learning environment.  The rhymes below bring together interaction between you and your child in an engaging and positive atmosphere, with counting actions and concepts.  We thought counting pigs was extra fun. 

This Little Piggy
This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
This little piggy had none
And this little piggy went wee, wee, wee, wee, all the way home.

Five Squeaky Clean Pigs
Five pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a big THUD
Then there were four clean squeaky pigs…

Cleanest you’ve ever seen

Landed with a big THUD
