Scarf Song: After My Bath
Act out with scarf or towel.
After my bath I try, try, try
to rub myself til I’m dry, dry, dry!
After my bath I try, try, try
to rub my ____ til I’m dry, dry, dry!

Just think how much less time it would take
if I were a dog and could shake, shake, shake!

Act out what the little bird is doing.

He wagged his tail and away he flew!
Little, bird, little bird fly around!
Fly up to the sky and down to the ground!
Little bird, little bird flap your brings!
Open your beak and sweetly sing!
Little bird, little bird fly to your nest!
Now its time for you to rest!
