Every one knows I’m A Little Teapot, it’s an old favourite – partly because children love playing with tea sets and also because they look so cute pretending to be a teapot with one arm in the air!
Sing the song and then have a pretend tea party with teddy bear and rag doll guests!
I’m A Little Teapot
I’m a little teapot short and stout,
Here’s my handle, here’s my spout!
When I see the tea cups, here me shout!
Lift me up, and pour me out!
This simple tune and short rhyming verse lends itself to be easily adapted for alternative verses – of which there are many! Here are a few we’ve come across, do share any more ideas below!
I’m a tube of toothpaste on the shelf,
I get so lonely all by myself!
When it comes to night time, then I shout
Take my top off and squeeze me out!
*
I’m a little robot, short and square,
I have no teeth, and I have no hair,
If you want the answers to a sum,
press my button and out it comes!
*
I’m a little snow man, short and fat,
Here’s my scarf and here’s my hat,
When the snow is falling, hear me say..
Build a snowman every day!

Our son liked doing “two handles” instead of a handle and a spout. So we made up this version:
I’m a little sugar bowl, short and white
I’ve got two handles, left and right.
Open up my lid and then you’ll see,
I’ve got sweetness all through me!
This is excellent! Thanks for sharing 😊
This is great! Do you know the chords/music to “let’s have a tea party”? By the countdown kids
So much fun!! We love singing I’m a Little Teapot. Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!
Great song 👌❣️
