My Thumb Finger
My Thumb Finger
This fun Turkish children’s song not only teaches kids how to count using their fingers but also serves as an introduction to basic anatomy. It is a version of “Where is Thumbkin?” that has been passed down from generation to generation. So grab your friends, family, or even your kids and give this traditional song a try! Song introduces each finger by name as they sing through the verses, kids learn to recognize each individual part of their hand. Plus, it gives them an opportunity to practice counting up to five—an important early math skill. And lastly, by having everyone wave goodbye at the end of the song reinforces social skills like communication and cooperation.
