    Title: Dedicated to all little chefs in traning
    Helping To Cook

    I like to make pizza dough
    My hands all gooey do stick
    Until we use enough flour
    And the dough becomes quite thick

    Sometimes I like to cook spaghetti
    And eat the uncooked pasta
    Then splash the bolognaise
    On my face and on my master

    I really like to mix chocolate muffins
    The spoon I love to lick
    Then watch the muffins in the oven
    Rise like a magic trick

    Most of all I like to make pancakes
    I stir the mixture as fast as I can
    Then wait at the dinner table
    With ice cream and blueberry jam.

    Title: A poem to enjoy with your kids
    Have you heard this question before? Here are some answers. Have fun!

    How old am I?

    How old are your eyes?
    And how old is your nose?
    Older than my teeth
    But the same age as my toes.

    Well, how old are your feet?
    And how old are your thighs?
    As old as my mouth,
    And as old as my eyes.

    So, then how old is your back?
    And how old is your tummy?
    As old as my neck,
    But not as old as my mummy.

    Tell me, how old are your shoulders?
    And how old are your knees?
    Nowhere near as old as the trees
    Any more questions please?

    Alright, how old are your fingers?
    And how old is your bottom?
    As old as my hair?
    I am confused now. I have forgotten.

    (By Andrew & Viola Wright)

    Title: New Exciting DVDs for children and their parents
    Eebee's Adventures- delightful new DVDs for children and their parents!
    'Grounded in the latest research and developed with leading experts, eebee's adventures playfully supports children and parents through the exciting process of building the real basic skills of infancy and toddler-hood. From the "art" of exploring textures to the "science" of rolling a ball; from making "music" with a spoon and a pot to "dividing" a sheet of paper into smaller pieces, eebee's adventures lays the foundation for those critical thinking, feeling, expressing, and doing skills that form the basis of all future learning'.

    Title: Song Lists are here!
    Dear customers,
    There has been some development on our Song List page. You are welcome to download and print out song lists you can use for different topics you are doing with your children at your child care centre, kindergarten, preschool, primary school or home. It will take me a while to compile them all but I think you will find them very handy: these song lists will guide you which songs you can use to compliment your topics or if you are after a particular song, you will be able to find which albums it is listed on.

    Title: Another poem
    Enjoy another poem, actually inspired by our business.

    COLEBROOK ROAD

    It was a big house,
    A strange old house.

    There were creeps in the crannies,
    And crooks in the nooks,
    Elephants in the pond,
    And something strange on the roof,

    Creatures great and small,
    Were coming in their droves,
    So, what was the attraction,
    Of that house on Colebrook Road?

    There was something in the air,
    But not something you could smell,
    It had a certain ring to it,
    Not unlike a bell,

    Do you know what I'm referring to,
    Would you like me to tell?

    MUSIC they were seeking,
    All kinds and all creeds,
    Something here for everyone,
    We cater for all needs,

    Whatever you are looking for,
    I'm sure you'll find it near,
    Let’s sing and dance, smile and laugh,
    And take some time-out here!

    For Colebrook Road is open,
    Everyday of every year,
    So come with us, discover, relax,
    Have fun and some good cheer!

    Title: Celebrating babies
    To celebrate babies and joy and tears children bring into our lives we want to share two poems written at our girls’ births,
    Ella & Andrew.

    Viola’s Violets Can’t be Anything But Beautiful

    Up till now I’ve been afraid to write
    Your soothing scream, my hand is released.
    One day when you can comprehend
    I’m sure you’ll read this and be truly pleased?

    My eyes shed a tear
    And yours do their uttermost too
    Joy, vulnerability, determination, fear
    I see in your face so blue

    I wonder about your first feeling and thought
    I hope you can keep this memory so pure
    And always keep believing, dreaming
    Making them your life’s ultimate allure

    Viola, Viola you’re already so dear
    The twenty-fourth of October will never pass
    Is yours to keep year after year
    From now until the very last

    I wish you health and happiness in this life
    Through all of those days
    So does your mother, family
    And all at the Bays

    In the maternity ward where you first gasped a breath
    Let’s not leave all the fear and the pain
    But bring some of it with us and happiness
    As we head for home in the sunny spring rain.

    Our Bonnie Lass Is Born

    The misty rain has dissipated
    As the sunlight takes over the sky
    You birth is more than anticipated
    In mum’s womb you comfortably lie

    Not quite ready for the outside world
    They say your name is Caesar
    Though we will call you Bonnie
    A name that’s more than a pleaser

    So shocked you are to breathe our air
    You are totally full of fear
    As we are overwhelmed with joy
    You hold on to us so dear

    Then you open your gorgeous blue eyes
    To remind us of one day when
    We clung so tightly to our mothers’ breasts
    The misty rain is back again.

    Title: A poem for your kids
    Another piece of fun children’s poetry for you to enjoy!

    Parking With The Kids
    By Andrew Wright

    Oh where, oh where can we park?
    We better find somewhere before it gets dark.
    Look over there, I can see a place,
    Oops, too late, wipe that smile off your face.
    Well, what about there on the other side?
    Hold on tight then, for a uey we must ride,
    Sorry we can’t park here, we will be in disgrace.
    There is a sign saying it is a disabled place.
    Just look a bit further, please do not moan,
    You would not believe it, a loading zone!
    Let us be patient, let us not worry,
    There is no need for us to be in a hurry,
    But the ice cream shop will soon shut,
    And our taste buds will be in an awful rut
    Please stop all your unnecessary harking,
    As I’m sure soon we will be parking.
    At last, at last, let us all scream,
    We can park now and get our ice cream.

    Title: A poem for your kids
    For all parents and their kids, I am happy to share a poem written for our daughter by my husband:

    My Grandfather Once Told Me
    By Andrew Wright

    There was a fly that ate apple pie,
    A bug that chewed a rug,
    A butterfly that flew very high,
    A snake that stayed awake,
    A dog who bounced like a frog
    A spider that drank apple cider,
    A cat that wore a hat,
    A bird that couldn’t be heard,
    A snail that checked the mail,
    A cow that used to bow,
    A horse that liked sauce,
    A worm that wanted to learn,
    A little child who went to bed
    When this book was read.
