‘Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear’ lyrics 

Teddy bear, teddy bear turnaround, 
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch the ground, 
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch your nose, 
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch your toes. 

Good to know 

You can change the words and create different actions for your toddler to copy or carry out. Here are some alternative verses: 

Teddy bear, teddy bear jump up high, 
Teddy bear, teddy bear go and fly, 
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch your hair, 
Teddy bear, teddy bear sit on a chair. 

Teddy bear, teddy bear go to sleep, 
Teddy bear, teddy bear try and peep, 
Teddy bear, teddy bear can you think? 
Teddy bear, teddy bear have a drink.
