Five Little Ladybugs

Show your child your hand and wiggle all your fingers and thumb as you sing this traditional nursery rhyme:

Five little ladybugs climbing up a door
One flew away then there were four

(Bend your thumb into your palm and continue:)
Four little ladybugs sitting on a tree
One flew away then there were three

(Bend a finger into your palm and continue singing, wiggling the remaining fingers:)

Three Little ladybugs landed on a shoe
One flew away then there were two

(Bend a finger into your palm and continue singing, wiggling the remaining fingers:)
Two little ladybugs looking for some fun
One flew away and then there was one

(Bend a finger into your palm and continue singing, wiggling the remaining finger:)
One little ladybug sitting in the sun
She flew away and then there were none

(Then tickle your child and kiss them on the head.)
