Spring Poem
Some days seem like winter,
Some are nice and warm.
Rainy days and windy days,
Maybe it will storm.
Warm or cold or wet or dry,
What will the weather be?
I think Spring is trying to play
Peek-a-boo with me
Beautiful Rainbow Came
One day the sun was shining bright
(hold up right hand like blocking
sunlight)
But some clouds came along and it
became black as night
(Hold up left hand for the clouds)
Then the rain began to sprinkle onto
the ground
(wiggle fingers for the rain coming
down)
And soon it was raining all over the
town.
But when the clouds had passed on
by (move both hands to one side)
A big beautiful rainbow stretched
across the sky
(make a rainbow arc with your
hands)

Waiting and waiting, will it be soon?
(hold fingers)
Look, he's coming out, my oh my!

For now he's become a beautiful
butterfly (Cross thumbs and flap
hands like wings)

butterfly not he.

The Little Caterpillar (Sung to

a tree,
Spun his cocoon and slept so
quietly,
All through the winter he didn't
make a sound,
He dreamt of his new life when he'd
be flying all around.
While he was sleeping the snow did
gently fall,

Spread your wings and fly for me,

A Seedlings Song
I am only now a seedling planted
with hands so very young
I have but just one wish, to reach
and touch the sun
My little leaves are fragile, my stem
is very new
My roots can barely hold me up, but
you can help me through.
I need only a few things, to keep
me alive and well
Some water, love and sunshine,
Then time will surely tell.
If my leaves look kind of droopy,
something to drink will do the trick
And feed me a little fertilizer, to
prevent me from getting sick.
This pot I live in now is a temporary
hold;
I'll need to be replanted, as I will
soon grow old.
The hardest thing to do my friend is
to sit and watch and wait
For the wonderful surprise I'll bring,
Please be patient and have faith
For your effort, love and support will
all be over soon;
Visit me in a month or two and I'll
reward you with a bloom.
But please don't cut me down I can
surprise you once again,
Let me finish my flower and seed
and next year, I'll be back my
friend.
The Gardening Song
First you take a shovel, a rake, and
a hoe
Plant a little garden, Plant seeds in a
row
Water them and weed them through
all the summer heat
And then you'll have some flowers
or vegetables to eat.
Fuzzy Caterpillar
The fuzzy caterpillar curled up on a
leaf.
Spun her little chrysalis and then fell
fast asleep.
While she was sleeping, she
dreamed that she could fly.
And later when she woke up, she
was a butterfly.
The Flower Song
The flower has some petals, the
flower has some petals.
The petals call the birds and bees,
the flower has some petals
The flower has some leaves, the
flower has some leaves.
The leaves will catch the rain and
sun, the flower has some leaves.
The flower has a stem, the flower
has a stem.
The stem will make it stand up tall,
the flower has a stem.
The flower has some roots, the
flower has some roots.
The roots will carry food and drink,
the flower has some roots.

powder puffs on the wrong end.
Raindrops
Pitter-patter raindrops (wiggle

little flowers begin to bud; (cup
hands together)
and grow and grow and grow.
