Our favorite fingerplay right now....

Pizza, pizza, pumpernickle.
Baby Quinn shall have a tickle (tickle her sides).
One for her nose (touch nose),
one for her toes (touch toes),
and one for her tummy where the hotdog goes! (tickle tummy!)

This is Q's current favorite fingerplay....
I leave the end word out of each line and let her say it. She LOVES for me to tickle her toes!

Even a little baby can begin to understand cause and effect as they learn that the words have certain actions corresponding to them.
The rhyming begins teaching letter patterns, a fabulous early literacy skill.
Plus, you just can't help but have fun saying this one!
