Fingerplay: Bear in the Cave
Here is a cave, (Make a fist)
Inside is a bear. (Put thumb inside fist)
Now he comes out
To get some fresh air. (Pop out thumb)
He stays out all summer
In sunshine and heat.
He hunts in the forest
For berries to eat. (Move thumb in circle)
When snow starts to fall,
He hurries inside
His warm little cave,
And there he will hide. (Put thumb back inside fist)
Snow covers the cave.
Like fluffy white rug.
Inside the bear sleeps
All cozy and snug.
