It's Raining all Around
(Sung to "Wheels on the Bus")
The rain in the sky falls to the ground,
to the ground, to the ground,
The rain in the sky falls to the ground,
It's raining all around.
The wipers on the cars go swoosh
swoosh swoosh,
swoosh swoosh swoosh,
swoosh swoosh swoosh,
The wipers on the cars go swoosh
swoosh swosh,
It's raining all around.
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again.

Hold your baby and dance - stomp
your feet and wave your hands

Let's do the rain dance.
Rain Rain Rain,
We want rain!
(REPEAT)

Rain in the Bathroom
Turn on the overhead
shower in your bathroom
and stand on the outside
with your baby while she
explores the look and sound
of the water coming down.
Let her stick in your hand if
she pleases!

Face to Face Interaction:
Criss Cross Applesauce
Criss cross applesauce,
(Draw an 'X" on baby's tummy)
A cool breeze,
(Blow on baby's neck)
A tight squeeze,
And a tickle, tickle, tickle
As you please
(Tickle and hug gently).
Pat-A-Cake
Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake
Baker's man,
Bake me a cake
as fast as you can
Pat it and prick it
and mark it with a "B"
Put it in the oven for baby and
me.!
