When I was Very Small Sometimes I might upset you Just because I'm small By leaving fingerprints of mine On a table, chair or wall. But everyday I grow a bit And I'll be big one day When all my tiny fingerprints Have long been cleaned away So keep these prints of my two hands To help you to recall Just how big my fingers were That time when I was small.
These Little Hands These little hands can give a hug Pat-a-cake or throw a ball They put smudges on the wall Because I'm only just so tall They love to clap or hold your hand Whenever you can play But when I'm grown and far away These little hands with you will stay
Fingerplay: I'll pick some flowers for my Mom. To make a nice bouquet (pick flowers) I'll give her a smile (smile) And say, Happy Mother's Day.
Five Flower Baskets Five flower baskets sitting on the floor. One will go to....................'s mom, Then there will be four. Four flower baskets, pretty as can be. One will go to ...................'s mom, Then there will be three. Three flower baskets with flowers red and blue. One will go to....................'s mom, Then there will be two. Two flower baskets, bright as the sun. One will go to....................'s mom, Then there will be one. One flower basket, oh, it's sure to go.

Handprint Poem Make a hand print to go with this poem: I miss you when we're not together I'm growing up so fast See how big I've gotten Since you saw me last? As I grow, I'll change a lot, The years will fly right by. You'll wonder how I grew so quick When and where and why? So look upon this hand print plaque That's hanging on your wall. And memories will come back of me, When I was very small
