🎵 Dino Counting Song

(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)

🦖 Stomp, stomp, little dino,
Can you count? Let's go, let's go!
One, two, three, four, and five,
Dinosaur friends all come alive!

🦕 Tails so long and so much fun,
Count them together, let’s all run!
Six, seven, eight, nine, and ten,
Dino math fun starts again!

🦖 Stomp, stomp, little dino,
Let’s learn numbers, nice and slow!
