Clean up, Clean up!

Just thought I'd post some of these clean up rhymes for all the other attachment mamas (and papas) out there! Enjoy clean up time!

  • One potato, two potato, three potato, four

five, six, seven more.

  • 1,2,3,4

Mary's at the kitchen door,

5,6,7,8

Eating cherries from a plate.

  • One for sorrow,

two for joy

three for a girl

four for a boy

five for silver

six for gold

seven for a secret

never to be told.

  • ( to the tune of: paw,paw patch)

Where oh where is dear little Teah

Where oh where is dear little Nolan

Where oh where is dear little Nakai

Way down yonder in the paw, paw patch

Picking up blocks and put them in the basket

picking up blocks and put them in the basket

Picking up blocks and put them in the basket

Way down yonder in the paw paw patch

  • (to the tune of the mulberry bush)

This is the way we wash the dishes (fold baby's clothes, clean up silks, put away crayons, etc.)

  • (while cleaning up bath toys)

The big ship sails on the alley alley ooh,

the alley alley ooh,

the alley alley ooh.

The big ship sails on the alley alley ooh

On the last day of September!

  • (while cleaning up toy cars)

Open your gates as wide as the sky

and let the king and his men pass by!

  • (while cleaning dollies)

Rock a bye baby on the tree top

Enjoy helping your child have fun cleaning up! You'll have more fun, too! It's much more appealing to the child to hear mama burst into song at cleanup time than to hear "pick up those toys...NOW!"
