This is a great rhyme to practice fine motor skills and build the muscles in your child's hands. This will help them hold a pencil and write when they get to school.
Lyrics:
Open, shut them;
Open, shut them;
Give a little clap!
Open, shut them;
Open, shut them;
Lay them in your lap!
Creep them, creep them;
Creep them, creep them;
Right up to your chin!
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in.
Shake them, shake them;
Shake them, shake them;
Shake them just like this.
Roll them, roll them;
Roll them, roll them;
Blow a little kiss!
