Counting Rhyme: Five Little Babies

Baby pram out of felt
This flannel/action rhyme is a lot of fun with yelling and bouncing. Make an extra long baby carriage for your felt board and fill it with babies.

Five little babies riding in a stroller
(Softly jog the baby on your lap, or have pre-k kids pretend to bump up and down)
"Let me out! Let me out!" the little one hollers.
​
(Use hands to cup mouth)
So they all start pushing and shoving about (Rock side to side)
Bump! Whoops! A baby fell out!
​
(Bounce the kid high)

4...3...2...1...0...

One empty stroller rolling around
(Bump up and down)
Five little babies need to be found.
(Act like you are searching)
Here comes one, oh look another!
(Point)
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 all back together!
​
(Count fingers while bouncing five times)

Use this counting rhyme in a storytime for preschoolers or babies about babies, siblings, or families.
