Flannel Song:
Five Little Mermaids
Five pretty mermaids jumping in the sea
One fell down and bumped the reef
A fish called the doctor and the doctor said
no more mermaids jumping in the sea.
Four . . . .
Three . . . .
Two . . . .
One pretty mermaid jumping in the sea
She fell down and bumped the reef.
A fish called the doctor and doctor said
Put those mermaids right to bed.
I found a free pattern that I based these on here.
