Rhyme: Two Little Blackbirds (I have two finger puppets from ArtFelt i like to use with this rhyme)
     Two little blackbirds sitting on a wall (hold pointer fingers out in front of you)
     One named Peter, one named Paul (wiggle one finger, then the other)
     Fly away Peter! Fly away Paul! (move one finger behind your back, then the other)
     Come back Peter! Come back Paul! (bring one finger back in front, then the other)

Sing: Tony Chestnut
This is a traditional song, so there are many, many versions of it if you're not familiar. The Learning Station has a popular one, but for younger children, I prefer the slower version on the Toddlers on Parade cd.
