Exercise to help scribbling!
Follow me, fingers wiggling!
WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE
Hands together, rub them fast,
Nice and toasty, warm at last!

With your hands, make the shape,
Of quacking ducks, on a lake.

Show your claws, like a bear,
Open and close, cause a scare.

Peek through your hands, in this way,
Watching birds, far away.
