Book read: 
In the Snow by Sharon Phillips Denslow

Shake your Shaker (to the tune of "London Bridges", from Library Village)
Shake your shaker in the air,
Shake it here, shake it there.
Shake your shaker in the air.
My fair baby!

Shake your shaker way down low,
To your knees, to your toes.
Shake your shaker way down low,
My fair baby!

Wake up Feet (modified from Jbrary)
Wake up feet and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!
Wake up feet and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!
Wake up and wiggle in the morning!
(for additional verses use different body parts)

Pop goes the weasel (from Perry Public Library)
All around the mulberry bush, (bounce baby on your knees)
The monkey chased the weasel.
In and out and all about.
POP goes the weasel! (lift baby up)

All around the cobbler's bench, (bounce baby on your knees)
The monkey chased the weasel.
That's the way the money goes.
POP goes the weasel! (lift baby up)

All around the mulberry bush, (bounce baby on your knees)
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey stopped to scratch his head.
POP goes the weasel! (lift baby up)  

Lift one foot and then the other (from Jbrary)
Lift one foot and then the other, (lift baby's legs)
Lift one foot and then the other,
Lift one foot and then the other,
Lift them both together!

Lift one hand and then the other, (lift baby's arms)
Lift one hand and then the other,
Lift one hand and then the other,
Lift them both together!

Clap your hands and keep on clapping, (clap baby's hands)
Clap your hands and keep on clapping,
Clap your hands and keep on clapping,
Clap them both together!

I'm a little cuckoo clock (from Born to Read)

Literacy tip of the week: Babies thrive on repetition, so repeating the same songs and books is never a bad thing!
