Fingerplays:

After a Bath

After my bath, I try, try, try

To wipe myself ‘til I’m dry, dry, dry.

Hands to wipe, and fingers, and toes,

                [wipe hands; then fingers; then toes]

And two wet legs and a shiny nose.

                [wipe legs; then nose]

Just think, how much less time I’d take,

If I were a dog, and could shake, shake, shake.

                [shake like a dog]

Bubble Bath

Bubbly, bubbly, bubble bath,

                [wiggle fingers]

Filled to the top.

                [raise fingers overhead]

Listen to the bubbly bubbles,

                [cup hand to ear]

Pop! Pop! Pop!

                [clap 3x]

Bath Time Fun

Wash your hair and wash your face,

                [wash hair; then face]

Wash your neck and every place

                [wash neck; then all over]

On your arms and on your thumbs.

                [wash arms; then thumbs]

Wash your hands – are we almost done?

                [wash hands]

Wash your tummy, wash your knees,

                [wash tummy; then knees]

Legs and ankles, if you please.

                [wash legs; then ankles]

Wash your feet and each little toe.

                [wash feet; then toes]

Bath time is so much fun, you know?

                [smile]
