Our Famous Pizza Nursery Rhyme for Kids – Pizza Making is Such Fun!

Pizza making is such fun,

In home school with my dad and mum.

Come and join our schooltime play,

Mum filmed it for another day.

 

We learn to mix the sticky dough,

Then knead it to a shiny glow.

We cut it up and roll it flat,

Then make the sauce to cover that.

 

I made a smiley face from corn,

With salami eyes my man was born.

We laid him on an oily tray,

Cooked in the oven while we play.

 

Cook him well, don’t be hasty.

Brown and crispy – very tasty!

Cut into triangles mum.

He’ll be lovely in my tum!
