Panda bears down!
Panda bears, panda bears, turn around.
Panda bears, knees
Panda bears, toes.

Touch your hair,
Stretch your arms,

LITERACY TIP
Giving children paper and crayons, markers or pencils, even when they can only scribble is the beginning of early writing. It takes a lot of coordination to write. Scribbling and drawing
are the beginning steps to writing. Posting children's artwork throughout their
environment shows them how proud you are of their efforts.
