THIS IS THE WAY WE MAKE THE BED

Stand with your children around a pretend bed and act out the movements as you sing the song below. Tune: "The Mulberry Bush" This is the way we make the bed, Make the bed, make the bed. This is the way we make the bed, So early in the morning. More Verses: This is the way we tuck in the sheets; This is the way we fluff up the quilt; This is the way we lay on the quilt. Adapted Traditional

MOMMY SHAKES THE QUILT Tune: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" Mommy shakes the quilt Gently, just like so; (Move arms up and down.) Then wraps it round me, Oh, so soft, (Wrap arms around self.) And off to sleep I go. (Lay cheek on folded hands.) Elizabeth Scofield

QUILT PICNIC
Give each of your children a small zipper-top bag with some veggie sticks and a cracker or two inside. Then spread a quilt on the floor and invite the children to sit on it while they enjoy their finger snacks.
