Five Freckled Frogs
Five green freckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bug-Yum, Yum!
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice & cool
Now there are four green freckled frogs
Four green freckled frogs, sitting on a speckled log…
Three green freckled frogs…
Two green freckled frogs…
One green freckled frog…
Now there are no more freckled frogs-Gulp Gulp
All A Part of Me
Cabeza, Ojos, Nariz, Y Boca
Cabeza, Ojos, Nariz, Y Boca
Cabeza, Ojos, Nariz, Y Boca
They're all a part of me!
My Wiggles (finger play)
I wiggle my fingers
I wiggle my toes
I wiggle my shoulders
I wiggle my nose.
Now the wiggles are out of me
And I sit as still as can be.
Hush Little Baby
Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you
a mocking bird
And if that mocking bird
won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a
diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring
turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a
looking glass.
And if that looking glass
gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a
billy goat.
And if that billy goat
won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you
a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull
fall down,
You'll still be the
sweetest baby in town.

Babies and children learn every single day, from the day they are born.
Everything they see, hear, touch, smell, and feel affects their brain and how it grows.
This is wonderful news for anyone who takes care of a child, because it means that you can help make that childhood great just by doing what may feel natural.
Below are some examples of easy, positive things to do with your child that will help his or her brain grow.
Talking
Your child loves your attention, but more importantly, a child's brain needs your attention to grow. Talking to your child from the time he or she is an infant is very important for brain development. Babies can recognize the sound of their mother's voice just minutes after birth, and they listen for that special sound.
Reading
Parents who read with their children find it gives them a lot of benefits. First, sharing a book is sharing quiet, happy time with each other. And when parents read books aloud, or tell stories about the pictures in a book, they are helping their children on the path to a lifetime of literacy.
Touching
Babies and young children also need the loving touch of their parents to make them feel safe. By holding, rocking, and hugging your baby, you are helping him or her to feel good about exploring the world in a safe way.
Singing
Babies and children love rhymes and songs. Singing songs with your child, even simple ones like "Happy Birthday" help him or her develop a sense of rhythm that will help with language skills.
Playing
Perhaps most importantly, babies and children learn by playing. And their brains are wired to learn in specific ways (like chewing on everything in sight). Try letting your child show you how he or she wants to play and enjoy the cues he or she gives you.
