Five Currant Buns Puppets – Free Printable

Posted on September 10, 2013 18 Comments

Make these free printable five currant buns puppets, and sing along with us to one of our favourite preschool counting songs!

I have gotten so many requests to make this set of printable puppets, so, after checking and double checking that it was in fact ‘currant’ not ‘current’ I whipped up this batch of five currAnt buns for you! Have fun making these puppets and singing along to the song!

Five Currant Buns in a Baker’s Shop is a favourite counting song of ours, and I know lots of you love it too. It’s an easy song to sing and so much fun for the kids to pay their money and take their currant bun away!

Everyone seems to sing this song with slightly different words, but here are the words we sing.

Five Currant Buns

Five currant buns in a baker’s shop,
Round and fat with a cherry on the top!
Along came a girl with some money one day,
Bought a currant bun and took it away.

Four currant buns in a baker’s shop…

Three currant buns in a baker’s shop…

Two currant buns in a baker’s shop…

One currant bun in a baker’s shop…

Here’s a quick video of my kids and I singing the song in case you don’t know it.

You can switch the words in the song around from girl to boy or use the child’s name so they know it is their turn to choose a bun. You can also easily change up the type of money you spend, maybe you spend a dollar, or perhaps a euro!

But one of the best parts of the song is when you get to the end you can must pretend to mix up and cook another batch of current buns so you can sing it all over again!

Once you are done singing you can also use these currant buns to set up your own baker’s shop pretend play!

How to Make the Five Current Buns Puppets.

This set of printable puppets includes five current bun puppets, and some money. To make the puppets simply download the pdf file below, and print it and cut out the buns and coins.

You can use regular printer paper, or card stock to print onto, we often use matte photo paper for really vibrant colours. We use a basic deskjet printer for all our printables

We taped our puppets onto clothes pegs this time so we could easily get them on and off our ‘shop display’ (aka a cardboard box). You could also attach them to craft sticks, or whatever you have handy.

    So I know what I’ll be doing when Annie comes home from school later, teaching her this song!
    I love how you included a £ sign too, Annie likes to think she’s Australian but sadly enough we live in England ;-)

      I was trying to think of other currency signs to include, but drew a total blank, so dollars, cents and pounds it is! LOL

    Very cute set! And certainly a cute baker in that outfit!
    I’ve heard this a few times via ABC iView so will have to get Daddy to print these off for Miss Daisy!

    These are so fantastic. You know, I have just realised that my girls don’t have a cash register. They play shops all the time but they are not so great at the whole trading thing. Most things are given away freely haha! Must get them a register! Can’t wait to try it out with these gorgeous currant buns!

    I love your song current buns. I had never heard it sung this way. We sing it with donuts. Five children stand up and they are the donuts. They can wear a donut ring made out of poster board around their neck with different colors of donuts drawn on it. Another child is the buyer. The song goes like this
    Five Little Donuts in the donut shop
    Five little donuts in the donut shop,
    sprinkle them with sugar and pat them on the top
    Along comes a boy/girl with a dime to pay,
    He buys one donut and he walks away. ( he has a pretend coin that he gives the seller and chooses a donut Child to go sit with. Then another child gets to do the same until the donuts are gone. The last child buyer. There are no little donuts in the donut shop….the boy comes and he looks and he looks and he walks away. Very similar to your buns song.. I would love to get donut props that could be held if you every have the time or desire to make them. Debra.
