Five Little Bears: Counting up
One little bear
Wondering what to do
Along came another
Then there were two!
Two little bears
Climbing up a tree
Along came another
Then there were three!
Three little bears
Ate an apple core
Along came another
Then there were four!
Four little honey bears
Found honey in a hive
Along came another
Then there were five!

My teddy bear is soft and brown
His heart is warm and good.
No matter if I laugh or frown
I know I'm understood!

Teddy Bears

Pick your teddy bear
Up from the ground,
Then go dancing all around.
Hold him high and hold him low,
As round and round and round you go!

(do actions with the teddy bears to suit
and substitute other words/actions )

   Hold him left and hold him right,
  Hold him tight with all your might!
   Hold him close and hold him far,
  Pretend that he can drive a car!
Hold him in front and hold him in back,
Sit down with him on your lap!

Three Brown Bears
(Tune: 3 Blind Mice)

Three brown bears,
Three brown bears,
See all their beds,
See all their chairs,
The mommy cooked in a big brown pot,
The daddy's porridge was much too hot,
The baby bear always cried a lot,
Three brown bears,
Three brown bears.

Corduroy Was a Bear
(tune: This Old Man)

Corduroy was a bear,
He had no friends anywhere.
He lost his button and he was all alone,
Until a girl named Lisa took him home.

A Tooth Fell Out

A tooth fell out, and left a space
So big my tongue could touch my face.
And every time I smile, I show
a space where something used to grow.
I miss my tooth as you can guess
But then, I have to brush one less!

My Wobbly Tooth

Once I had a wobbly tooth
That wobbled to and fro
Everytime I ate my toast
I thought the tooth would go.
But then I ate a candy,
A sticky toffee roll,
Now where my wobble tooth was
There's nothing but a hole!

The Tooth Fairy

When the Tooth Fairy heard you lost a tooth
Do you know what she did?
She made a map to visit you
Because you're a special kid

First she got your home address
And checked her fairy map.
Then she flew to your place
Where she saw your brand new "gap."

Tooth Fairy, Tooth Fairy

Tooth Fairy, Tooth Fairy
When will you come?
I've finally jiggled
My tooth from my gum.
I'll put it 'neath my pillow
When it is night,
I'll be under the covers,
Tucked in just right,
One last kiss and hug,
Then off goes the light.

Tooth Fairy  

I have a little tooth in here
Which I barely lost today
And I will not even shed a tear
If you will kindly come my way!

Tooth Fairy Letter

In this pocket you will find
A teensy, tiny tooth of mine.
So while I sleep where
dreams are made,
Let's see if you
can make a trade.
In this pocket I will lay,
the little tooth I lost today.
Please, dear fairy,
tonight as I sleep
leave me a coin.
My tooth you can keep.
