Help little ones learn to count by counting their blessings! Think of this rollicking song as a 3-in-1: kids give thanks, learn to count, and channel their energy in exuberant praise. “Now it’s time to think of what you’re thankful for when you pray,” including “8 for the food that’s on my plate, 9 I’m feeling fine.”  Now step it up! “Gather ‘round kids ‘cuz I’m gonna learn a lesson, learn to count by counting your blessings. Raise your hands, and do a little dance for the Lord.” What a great song to sing while starting a day or getting dinner ready. It’s like saying grace in a brand-new way.

With its rocking rhythms and fun rhymes, toddlers and preschoolers will want to twist, shout, and definitely count.
