One song, many ways:

• See more videos for using it with scarves, your fingers or even tapping sticks and egg shakers.
• Toddlers: They can mimic the movements up and down the body with their own scarves.
• Babies: If laying on their tummies, use your fingers to go up and down their bodies as you sing the song.

Lyrics:

On my toe there is a flea,
Now he’s climbing up on me,
Past my stomach, past my nose,
On my head where my hair grows.
On my head there is a flea
Now he’s climbing down on me,
Past my stomach, past my knee,
On my toe,
Take THAT, you flea!
