Flannel set for bunny, sleeping bunny, tortoise, and a gold trophy
This is a baby signing rhyme of the familiar folktale. The play with opposites makes this a fun rhyme and it is chock full of baby sign. Follow these links to learn Baby Sign for turtle, rabbit, fast, slow, and sleep. I used a flannel pattern I found on Mel's Desk for a visual aid. 
​
​     The tortoise went slow.
     The hare went fast.
     The tortoise kept going.
     The hare took a nap.
     Although tortoise went slow
     And hare went fast,
     The tortoise came first,
     And the hare came last!

​Use in either a baby storytime or a preschool storytime.
