10 Little Fingers and Toes

[15 Minutes]

Unwind for a few minutes with your child while singing this fun song. Not only will you both giggle together, but your child will be learning to count as well!

What to do:

1. Teach your child this song (Tune: "Ten Little Indians"):

   One little, two little, three little toesies,
   Four little, five little, six little toesies,
   Seven little, eight little, nine little
   toesies.
   Ten little toesies in a row.
   

2. As you sing, touch each of her toes in turn.
3. Sing again, this time substituting the word "fingers" for "toesies."
