Fleas
On my toe
There is a flea.
Now he’s climbing
On my knee.
Past my tummy,
Past my nose,
On my head
Where my hair grows.
On my head
There is a flea.
Now he’s climbing
Down on me.
Past my tummy,
Past my knee,
On my toe,
Take that, you flea!
(Tickle your child’s foot, or
stomp the ‘flea’ with your foot.)
As you sing the song, move your hand up and down your child’s body.
Or do the movements on your own body and encourage your child to
‘climb’ the ‘flea’ to each named part of his body.
You might sign up the musical scale on the first verse, and down the
scale on the second.
