The toddlers in our classes respond very enthusiastically to this sweet, soothing rhyme.
Five little birds without any home, Â (Raise the fingers on one hand)
Five little trees in a row.                   (Raise the fingers on the other hand)
“Come build your nests in our
branches tall,                                 (Interlace the fingers to form a nest)
And we’ll rock you to and fro!”        (Rock the nest gently)
