Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch your nose,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch your toes,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground.
Teddy bears are often very important in the lives of young children. This rhyme can be for babies, toddlers and young children.
RHYME TIME
Babies
- At its very simplest level, the rhyme can be chanted softly to babies as they sit in a rocking cradle, kick on a blanket on the floor or are held closely by a key person.
- It is also a lovely rhyme to use at nappy-changing time as babies' toes are wriggling freely. Tickle their nose and toes gently as you say the words, wriggle your fingers with the words 'turn around' and even change the last sentence to 'tickle your tummy' for even more fun.
