Wonderful Ones: Happy Hands

Keep those little baby hands busy with these catchy and fun rhymes and books.  You'll be helping your baby learn hand-eye coordination while putting smiles on your faces.  This critical skill is also essential for your baby to learn new communication techniques, which in turn help them develop language skills.  Children involved in activity such as these games, tend to generate more language than just playing with toys alone.  Help your baby learn more language so they will be 'Ready to Read', by playing together!  

Open, Shut Them Rhyme
Open, shut them,
Open, shut them,
Give a little clap.
Open, shut them,
Open, shut them,
Put them in your lap.
Creep them, creep them,
Creep them, creep them,
Right up to your chin.
Open up your little mouth,
But do not let them in.

Two Green Apples Rhyme
Way up high
In a tree,
Two green apples
Smiled at me.
So I shook that tree
As hard as I could,
And down fell the apples.
Mmmm, they were good!
