It’s all about the food today – here are a couple of food-themed lap bounces that I’ve used in my baby times. I don’t typically follow themes when planning my story times, particularly not my baby times, but I must always be feeling a pick peckish when I’m doing my planning, because food-themed songs always seem to make an entrance.
I’m toast in the toaster
I’m getting very hot!
Tick tock, tick tock,
Up I pop!
You be the ice cream
And I’ll be the freezer
You be the lemon
And I’ll be the squeezer
You be the hot dog
And I’ll be the bun
You be the baby
And we’ll have some fun!
(Some versions of this song finish with “and I’ll be the mum!”, but my baby time is pretty diverse, with lots of grandparents and nannies, so I like to use this more inclusive version.)
Pop, pop, popcorn
Pop, pop, pop
You put the corn in the pot
Pop, pop, pop
You shake it while it’s hot
Pop, pop pop,
Open the lid and what have you got? Popcorn!
Pudding on the Plate
Pudding on the plate
Wibble wobble wibble wobble
Pudding on the plate
Candies in the jar
Candies in the jar
Shake ‘em up, shake ‘em up
Candies in the jar
Sausage in the pan
Sausage in the pan
Turn ‘em over, turn ‘em over
Sausage in the pan
