This simple song works with infants and toddlers; so I've included different actions for both. Sing it slowly allowing time for motions/massage. One, Two Use simple and massage. (hold up index fingers as you count, and slowly move them from left to right as baby tracks the movement) (point to your eyes, then gently massage around baby's eyes as you sing) (hold up index fingers as you count, and slowly move them from left to right as baby tracks the movement) (point to your ears, then gently massage around baby's ears) (hold up fingers as you count, and slowly move them from left to right as baby tracks the movement) (point to your lips, then gently massage around baby's mouth) (hold up index fingers as you count, and slowly move them from left to right as baby tracks the movement) (hold your hands up, then hold baby's hands and gently massage as you sing) So do you! (Gently One, Two with you. (hold up index fingers as you count) (point to your eyes, then child's) (hold up index fingers as you count) (point to your ears, then child's) (hold up index fingers as you count) (point to your lips, then child's) (hold up index fingers as you count) (Hold up hands and turn them front to back, then point to child's hands) So do you!

Lyrics
This simple song works with infants and toddlers, and I've included motion
activities for both. Sing it slowly allowing time for motions/massage.
One Two (for use with Infants)
Use simple massage as lyrics indicate. Touch is a baby's first language, and in addition to
aiding in bonding, it reassures and builds security for babies.
Lay your baby on a blanket in front of you as you sing and do the motions and massage.
One, two, one, two,
I have two eyes, so do you
One, two, one, two
I have two ears, so do you
One, two, one, two,
I have two lips, so do you
One, two, one, two,
I have two hands, so do you.
So do you!
(Gently clap baby's hands together
Sing slowly with toddlers, and they will naturally do all the motions with you.
One Two (for use with Toddlers)
One, two, one, two,
I have two eyes, so do you
One, two, one, two,
I have two ears, so do you
One, two, one, two,
I have two lips, so do you
One, two, one, two,
I have two hands, so do you.
So do you!
