My Puppy

I like to pat my puppy...

Description:
Little children love fingerplays. Not only do fingerplays make a connection between the words of the song and their meaning, they are just plain fun! Repeat the fingerplays and actions several times. Each time you do, ask your child to join in. After a few repetitions, your child will be able to perform the motions all on his or her own.

Step-by-Step:

I like to pat my puppy (make puppy with one fist, pat with other hand)
He has such nice soft fur (pat)
And if I don't pull his tail (pull tail)
He won't say "grrrr" (make angry face)
