My Toys

I have a lot of favorite toys.
I cannot choose just one.
I need to keep them all around
For different kinds of fun.
As you can see I need them all
For work and play and rest.
When you go home and find your toys,
Which one do you like best?

My Dear Dolly

I have a dear little dolly
Who has eyes of bright blue.

[point to eyes]

She can open and shut them

[blink]

And she smiles too!

Jack-in-the-Box

Jack-in-the-box,

[crouch down]

Still as a mouse,
Deep down inside your house.
Jack-in-the-box,
Resting so still,
Won't you come out?

[jump up]

"Yes, I will!"
