Act out putting the buns in the oven and then taking them out when ready. Ask your child to choose which spread to put on the buns. Spread the chosen spread using your whole right hand (wiping it across the left hand with palm then back of hand to pulse) as you sing the third verse. Another volunteer chooses a spread and you repeat with the other hand.

Sing the fourth verse twice, taking a bite of your bun during each “gap in the song”
