Monkey Mitt

My friend Spencer, a speech therapist, always recommends the best toys! She has this awesome Monkey Mitt that she uses with her daughter and I loooved it! It's a fuzzy mitt that has velcro fingers so you can add toys that come off for different songs. This looked like so much fun! So I went out and bought a few sets for Mila. I bought monkeys, ducks and farm animals for 3 songs to sing to her. She loves it! Although she really wants to grab the toys off the mitt, so I have to keep an eye on her, LOL!

Here's the song, "Five Little Monkeys":

"Five Little Monkeys"

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head

So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head

So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head

So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head

So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

One little monkey jumping on the bed

He fell off and bumped his head

So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

No little monkeys jumping on the bed

None fell off and bumped his head

So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said

Put those monkeys back in bed!

There's another one that has ducks. I remember learning this song when I was in kindergarten! It's called "Five Little Ducks" and it goes like this: (the last verse always makes me laugh!)

"Five Little Ducks"

Five little ducks

Went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."

And four little ducks came running back.

Four little ducks

Went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."

And three little ducks came running back.

Three little ducks

Went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."

And two little ducks came running back.

Two little ducks

Went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."

And one little duck came running back.

One little duck

Went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."

And no little ducks came running back.

No little ducks

went out to play

Over the hills and far away

Papa duck said,

"QUACK!.... QUACK!... QUACK!"

And five little ducks came running back!

I also bought her one more Monkey Mitt set, for the song "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly." This one is so fun to sing!

"There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly"

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly,

I guess she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,

that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

I guess she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird.

How absurd to swallow a bird.

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,

that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

I guess she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a cat.

Imagine that, she swallowed a cat.

She swallowed the cat to catch the bird.

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,

that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

I guess she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a dog.

My what a hog, to swallow a dog.

She swallowed the dog to catch the cat.

She swallowed the cat, to catch the bird,

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,

that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

I guess she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a cow.

I don't know how she swallowed a cow.

She swallowed the cow to catch the dog.

She swallowed the dog, to catch the cat.

She swallowed the cat to catch the bird.

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,

that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her.

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly

I guess she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse...

She's fat of course!
