BIRTHDAY SONGS

 

BIRTHDAY CANDLES
Tune:  “I’m A Little Teapot”

_____ little candles    (But birthday child’s age in blank)
Up on the cake.
It’s time to eat,
So don’t be late.

First we’ll light the candles,
Then we’ll blow,
Huff, huff, puff, puff,
Out they go!

Hold up a playdough birthday cake.  
Add the appropriate number of candles.
Let your children help you pretend to
Light the candles and blow them out.
