You will love chanting this action rhyme Tommy Thumbs Up with your toddler!
Tommy Thumbs Up
(both of your thumbs in the air)
Tommy Thumbs up, Tommy Thumbs down,
Tommy Thumbs dancing all around.
Dance them on your shoulders,
Dance them on your head.
Dance them on your knees and
Tuck them into bed. (make a fist)

That's cute! I have another one where the thumbs are Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown. It is actually kind of long but cute and similar to yours.

i think so! my guys still remember their baby signs and we stopped doing them at least three years ago! we also did this rhyme and we made up names for the other fingers too--peter pointer, melvin middle, ricky ring--things like that!
