+[Illustration: "WHAT THE CHILD IMITATES, HE BEGINS TO
+UNDERSTAND."--_Froebel._]
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+"What the child imitates," says Froebel, "he begins to understand. Let
+him represent the flying of birds and he enters partially into the
+life of birds. Let him imitate the rapid motion of fishes in the water
+and his sympathy with fishes is quickened. Let him reproduce the
+activities of farmer, miller and baker, and his eyes open to the
+meaning of their work. In one word let him reflect in his play the
+varied aspects of life and his thought will begin to grapple with
+their significance."
+
+In all times and among all nations, finger-plays have been a delight
+of childhood. Countless babies have laughed and crowed over
+"Pat-a-cake" and other performances of the soft little hands; while
+children of whatever age never fail to find amusement in playing
+
+ "Here is the church,
+ And here's the steeple,
+ Open the doors,
+ And here are the people!"
+
+and others as well known.
+
+Yet it is not solely upon the pleasure derived from them, that
+finger-plays depend for their _raison d'etre_. By their judicious and
+early use, the development of strength and flexibility in the tiny lax
+fingers may be assisted, and dormant thought may receive its first
+awakening call through the motions which interpret as well as
+illustrate the phase of life or activity presented by the words.
+
+The eighteen finger-plays contained in this book have already, through
+publication in BABYLAND, been introduced to their especial public, and
+have been much used in homes, though perhaps more in kindergartens. It
+will readily be seen that while some of the plays are for the babies
+in the nursery, others are more suitable for older children.
+
+A baby-friend, ten months old, plays "All for Baby" throughout,
+pounding and clapping gleefully with all his might--while children
+seven or eight years of age play and sing "The Caterpillar," "How the
+Corn Grew" and others with very evident enjoyment.
+
+With a little study of the charming and expressive pictures with which
+the artist, Mr. L.J. Bridgman, has so sympathetically illustrated the
+rhymes, mothers and kindergartners have easily understood what motions
+were intended. To elucidate still farther, however, the playing of
+"The Merry Little Men" may be thus described:
+
+During the singing of the first verse, the children look about in
+every direction for the "little men," but keep the hands hidden. At
+the beginning of the second verse, raise both hands to full view with
+fingers outspread and quiet. At the words, "The first to come," etc.,
+let the thumbs be shown alone, then the others as named in turn, till
+all are again outspread as at the beginning of the second verse. In
+the last verse the arms are moved from side to side, hands being
+raised and fingers fluttering nimbly all the time. When displaying the
+"busy little men," raise the hands as high as possible.
+
+The music, composed by Miss Cornelia C. Roeske, will be found
+melodious and attractive and especially suited to the voices and
+abilities of the very young children for whom it is chiefly intended.
+
+The harmonic arrangement is also purposely simple in consideration of
+the many mothers and kindergartners who cannot devote time to
+preparatory practice.

+
+
+This is the meadow where all the long day
+Ten little frolicsome lambs are at play.
+

+
+[Illustration: THE TROUGH [hands held together and cupped]]
+
+This is the rack where in winter they feed;
+Hay makes a very good dinner indeed.
+
+[Illustration: THE RACK [hands back to back with fingers interlaced

+
+These are the big shears to shear the old sheep;

+Good Mother Hen sits here on her nest,

+ Waiting, waiting, day after day.
+
+[Illustration: ON THE NEST. [right hand horizontal with fingers
+slightly curved; left hand in fist on top of right hand, with index

+
+Hark! there's a sound she knows very well:
+Some little chickens are breaking the shell,
+ Pecking, pecking, pecking away.
+
+[Illustration: BREAKING THE SHELL [fingers curved, thumb touching

+
+Now they're all out, Oh, see what a crowd!
+Good Mother Hen is happy and proud,
+ Cluck-cluck, cluck-cluck, clucking away.
+
+[Illustration: HAPPY AND PROUD [fist with index finger raised and

+But all the chickens run to and fro,
+ Peep-peep, peep-peep, peeping away.
+
+[Illustration: THE COOP. [palm downward, fingers curved and

+ Picking, picking, picking away.
+

+VI.--A LITTLE BOY'S WALK.
+
+
+A little boy went walking
+ One lovely summer's day:
+He saw a little rabbit
+ That quickly ran away;
+
+[Illustration: THE RABBIT [index and middle finger in "V" sign]]
+
+[Illustration: RAN AWAY [same, with arm moving behind back]]
+
+He saw a shining river
+ Go winding in and out,
+And little fishes in it
+ Were swimming all about;
+
+[Illustration: SHINING RIVER [hands describing a long curve]]
+
+[Illustration: THE FISHES [fingers waggling downward]]
+
+And, slowly, slowly turning,
+ The great wheel of the mill;
+And then the tall church steeple,
+ The little church so still;
+
+[Illustration: MILL WHEEL [hands turning over each other]]
+
+[Illustration: CHURCH STEEPLE [hands clasped upward, index fingers

+
+The bridge above the water;
+ And when he stopped to rest,
+He saw among the bushes
+ A wee ground-sparrow's nest.
+
+[Illustration: THE BRIDGE [palms downward, fingers straight and
+interlaced, thumbs extended downward]]
+
+[Illustration: THE NEST [hands cupped sideways to form circle]]
+
+And as he watched the birdies
+ Above the tree-tops fly,
+He saw the clouds a-sailing
+ Across the sunny sky.
+
+[Illustration: ABOVE THE TREE-TOP FLY [arms and hands extended

+
+[Illustration: CLOUDS A-SAILING [one arm extended upward, fingers

+
+He saw the insects playing;

+Found his furry coat too tight,

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
