Fun Finger Plays

I have loved going to our library's music time for babies/toddlers, but I can never seem to remember how all the songs go!  So I did lots of research and these are the best finger play songs I could find:

I got these songs from friends and family, my library, the Hennepin County Library on YouTube, and Dr.Jean on YouTube (she's fabulous, visit drjean.org and http://drjean.org/html/videoLinks.html).


I love how Dr. Jean explains the benefits of finger plays:

1. getting them ready to read
2. using oral language
3. auditory memory
4. developing immagination
5. small motor activities
6. children keep asking "again, again!"
7. and it is FUN!!
