Body part recognition: arms, hands and fingers are all worked well in this song. Thec hildren are learning that they have ten fingers. They can consider the symmetry of their two hands and maybe see that they fit together as five and five ,extending their mathematical understanding.

The phrase “I can” is an affirmation of abilities.  This playful working of the fine muscles will enhance control over the fine muscles of individual fingers so that writing, drawing and playing advanced musical instruments will comee asily when needed. These are the muscles that tire quickly for many children when they go to school.
