Activity:
Close your eyes and picture yourself as a newborn baby. You can also picture a baby sister or brother if you
have one. Now I'm going to ask you some questions. If the answer is "yes," say it three times: "yes, yes,
yes." If the answer is "no," say it three times: "no, no, no." Is a baby bigger than a kitten ?... a mitten? ... an
apple when it's ripe for pickin'? Picture your mother. Is she bigger than a fly? ... the sky?... a slice of
blueberry pie? This song also asks questions about your father, and in the last verse asks about you!
Try moving as you sing. Jump up and down each time you say "yes." Twist side to side as you say
"no,no,no." When you sing "so big," reach up and out, lengthen your spine, and make yourself " soooo" big.
How big is baby; how big can she be?
Is she bigger than a kitten? Yes, yes, yes
Is she bigger than a mitten? Yes, yes, yes
Is she bigger than an apple when it's ripe for pickin'? Yes, yes, yes
Baby's So - big, So - big
Look and you will see baby's so, so, big
How big is mother; how big can she be?
Is she bigger than a fly? Yes, yes, yes
Is she bigger than the sky? No, no, no
Is she bigger than a slice of blueberry pie? Yes, yes, yes
Mother's So - big, So - big
Look and you will see mother's so, so, big
How big is father; how big can he be?
Is he bigger than a snail? Yes, yes, yes
Is he bigger than a whale? No, no, no
Is he bigger than a feather in a peacock's tail? Yes, yes, yes
Father's So - big, So - big
Look and you will see father's so, so, big
How big are you my friend; how big can you be?
Are you bigger than a flea? Yes, yes, yes
Are you bigger than the sea? No, no, no
Are you bigger than the wings on a bumble bee? Yes, yes, yes
You are So - big, So - big
Look and you will see you are so, so, big
