Oh What a Cake
FromMudlucious: Stories and Activities featuring Food for
Preschool Children by Jan Irving and Robin Currie, p. 83.
Once there was a baker who baked a lovely cake.
Oh, what a cake he did make!
But when he wasnt looking
a flea flew in to the cake the baker baked.
Oh, what a cake THAT did make!
But when he wasnt looking,
A butter fly blew in to where the flea flew
In the cake the baker baked.
Oh, what a cake that did make!
But when he wasnt looking a frog flipped in...
But when he wasnt looking, A snake slipped in...
But when he wasnt looking a duck danced in...
But when he wasnt looking a pig pranced in...
But then the baker looked and said ENOUGH!
and out the pig pranced
and the duck danced
and the snake slipped
and the frog flipped
and the butterfly blew
and flea flew
and they all shared the cake the baker baked.
And what a cake he did make

SAY HELLO

Now, what is a circle?

Where can it be found?
I know what it looks like,
It goes round and round.
It could be a Frisbee
Or the top of a cake.
It could be a pizza
Or a cookie we baked.
It could be the tire
On a brand-new car.
It could be a button
Or the lid of a jar.
Now, what is a circle?
Well, you'll have to guess.
A circle is something
A little like this. (Form circle with thumb and finger).

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
