Who's in the Red Barn? Toddler Song

I fell in love with this FAO Schwarz plush toy and saw the opportunity to use it for a simple toddler story time stretcher. 

It has a set of double barn doors that close with Velcro and the back opens via a zipper. It's the perfect size for a small glove puppet or finger puppet. 

I use it with a song:  "Who's in the Red Barn?"

Who's in the red barn, the red barn, the red barn?

Who's in the red barn?

I don't know. 

Let's find out!

Then I open the doors to reveal the puppet. The children really enjoy it when an unexpected animal is inside, like a dinosaur or iguana. Then I can segue into a dance song to get us moving. 

Super simple. Super effective. Best used with a small audience. 

Counting

A quick counting puppet skit for toddlers.

Puppets:
One puppet, two of the same puppets, three of the same puppets
Props:
None

I told the children I had puppets in my bag:
"I have puppets in my bag, wanna see?
They will help us count to three!
Can you help me count to three?
1,2,3!"

I used one pink pig.
Then, pulled out two green frogs.
Finally, three red birds.
