Fingerplays:

All by Myself

Hat on head, just like this.

Pull it down, you see.

I can put my hat on,

                [pretend to put on a hat]

All by myself, just me.

One arm in, two arms in.

Buttons, one, two, three.

I can put my coat on,

                [pretend to put on a coat]

All by myself, just me.

Toes in first, heels down next.

Pull and pull, then see.

I can put my boots on,

                [pretend to put on boots]

All by myself, just me.

Fingers here, thumbs right there.

Hands as warm as can be.

I can put my mittens on,

                [pretend to put on mittens]

All by myself, just me.

Getting Dressed

Arms in sleeves, shirt over head.

                [pretend to put on a shirt]

Pull it down just like I said.

                [pull down shirt]

Feet in socks, legs in pants.

                [pretend to put on socks and pants]

Pull them up and do a dance.

                [pull up pants and dance]

Feet in shoes, on goes the coat.

                [pretend to put on shoes and coat]

Now we’re dressed, and ready to go out!

Look at Me!

Look at me!

                [point to self]

Upon my head

I wear a hat of brightest red.

[point to head]

Look at me!

                [point to self]

Don’t I look neat

With shiny shoes upon my feet?

[point to feet]

Look at me!

                [point to self]

Hip, hip, hooray!

With shirt and pants

                [point to clothes]

I’m dressed to play!
