Shoe the Old Horse Fingerplay

Here's one of our favorite finger (foot?) plays right now...
Done with bare baby (or toddler!) feet....

Shoe the old horse (cover one of baby's feet with your hand)
Shoe the old mare (cover other foot with your other hand)
Pound a nail here (poke one of your fingers into baby's heel)
Pound a nail there (same thing on other foot)
But let the little colty foot go bare, bare, bare (tickle bottoms of both feet).

Great rhythm, promotes sound awareness through the rhyming words, encourages cause and effect relationship awareness, introduces new vocabulary, and is just plain fun!
