Bells
Little Jingle Mouse is from Toddler Story Time - Roar! I'm a Dinosaur! on Library Village.  I like to do this song with clapping as well and it is great for outreach.  Since we used scarves today we clapped along with the rhyme instead of taking the bells out.

I heard a little clapping,  (clap hands softly)
Right inside my house.
It sounded like the clapping
Of a little clapping mouse.
He clapped up to the ceiling,  (clap hands high over head)
he clapped down to the floor,  (clap hands down on the floor)
he clapped all around my house (move clapping hands in a cirlce)
until  he began to snore...  (clap softer and softer until its silent)

Mailbox - Fox
Door - Dinosaur

Bell Horse by Kathi Reid-Naiman from I Love to Hear the Sounds 

Closing
We Clap Our Hands Like This - Tune Farmer in the Dell. Borrowed from Opening/Closing Songs on Storytime Katie who borrowed it from Rhymes for Toddlers on Sunflower Storytime.

We clap our hands like this
We clap out hands like this
We clap our hands with all of our friends
We clap our hands like this.

We blow a kiss like this
We blow a kiss like this
We blow a kiss with all of our friends
We blow a kiss like this.

We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye with all our friends.
We wave goodbye like this.

Craft 
Using our Ellison die for a snow globe we created fish bowls with foam fish and crayons.
