Finger plays for nursery and kindergarten

by Emilie Poulsson

Press, press, press;
All the milk must be
From the golden butter now
Pressed out carefully.

Pat, pat, pat;
Make it smooth and round.
See! the roll of butter’s done—
Won’t you buy a pound?
Taste, oh! taste,
This is very nice;
Spread it on the children’s bread,
Give them each a slice.

1. Skim, skim, skim, With the skimmer bright; Take the rich and yellow cream, Leave the milk so white.
	2. Churn, churn, churn, Now ’tis churning day; Till the cream to butter turn Dasher must not stay.
3. Press, press, press; All the milk must be From the golden butter now Pressed out carefully.
	4. Pat, pat, pat, Make it smooth and round. See! the roll of butter’s done— Won’t you buy a pound?
5. Taste, oh! taste, This is very nice. Spread it on the children’s bread, Give them each a slice.
