PAT A CAKE
A Froebel Finger Play
Baby, would you like to make
For yourself a little cake?
Pat it gently, smooth it down.
Baker says: “Now, in to brown;
Bring it here, baby dear,
While the oven fire burns clear.”
“Baker, see, here is my cake;
Bake it well for baby’s sake.”
“In the oven, right deep down,
Here the cake will soon get brown.”
A KNEE GAME
What do I see? Baby’s knee.
Tickily, tickily, tic, tac, tee.
One for a penny, two for a pound;
Tickily, tickily, round and round.
A FOOT PLAY
Up, down—up, down.
One foot up and one foot down,
All the way to London town.
Tra la la la la la.
