Tick Tock, Cuckoo Clock

Can be used as a lapsit activity or a standing one with a very small child; this one is pretty exclusively for baby storytimes. Originally found on the King County Library System Wiki (click here for original page and a video)

Tick tock, tick tock, I'm a little cuckoo clock. Tick tock, tick tock, now it's one o'clock. Cuckoo! (Lift baby into the air)

Continue with two, three, four and five o'clock.

 Variant:  Do the rhyme standing, holding child securely under arms and swing child like a pendulum, lifting them high in the air on "cuckoo".

Tick tock, tick tock, I'm a little cuckoo clock. (swing baby side to side) Tick tock, tick tock, now the time is one o'clock. Cuckoo! (lift baby into the air)

Tick tock, tick tock, I'm a little cuckoo clock. (swing baby side to side) Tick tock, tick tock, now the time is two o'clock. Cuckoo! Cuckoo! (lift baby into on each "cuckoo")

Repeat with "three o'clock".
