I’m a little Acorn

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

A song about an acorn and squirrel to be sung to the tune of I’m a little Teapot.

Lyrics:

I’m a little acorn, short and round.

In autumn I fall to the cold, hard ground.

Along comes Mr. Squirrel and takes me back

And saves me for a winter snack.

Repeat.

Happy Singing!

Fuzzy Caterpillar

Monday, December 19th, 2011

A cute little song that teaches about God’s creations, the caterpillar and tadpole, and the process of metamorphosis.

Lyrics:

Fuzzy caterpillar, wiggled up a tree.

He wiggled long, he wiggled short,

He wiggled right at me.

Put him in a little box,

“Don’t go away,” I said.

But when I looked into that box

He’s a butterfly instead.

Oh, I could never make one,

Even if I tried.

For only God in heaven

Can make a butterfly.

Verse 2

Wiggly little tadpole

Swimming in a lake

He wiggle long, he wiggled short,

He wiggled like a snake.

Put him in a little jar.

“Don’t go away,” I said.

But when I looked into that jar

He’s a hopping frog instead.

Oh, I could never make one.

Even if I tried.

The hopping from was made by God

Just like the butterfly.

Happy Singing!

3 Little Ducks

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

This is a cute song about ducklings. It teaches children to subtract, add, and sequence in stories. Read the lyrics, try the hand movements then watch my sweet daughter in the video below.

Lyrics (actions)

Three little ducks went out to play (pass three fingers in front of your body)
Over the hills and far away (make a hill with you left arm and pass your right 3 fingers over the left arm)
Mommy duck said “Quack, quack, quack, quack.” (make a duck mouth with both hands, open and close them 4 times)
And two little ducks came running back. (pass two fingers in front of you body from left to right)

Two little ducks when out to play (pass two fingers in front of your body)
Over the hills and far away (make a hill with you left arm and pass your right 2 fingers over the left arm)
Mommy duck said “Quack, quack, quack, quack.” (make a duck mouth with both hands, open and close them 4 times)
And one little ducks came running back. (pass one finger in front of you body from left to right)

One little ducks when out to play (pass one finger in front of your body)
Over the hills and far away (make a hill with you left arm and pass your right 1 finger over the left arm)
Mommy duck said “Quack, quack, quack, quack.” (make a duck mouth with both hands, open and close them 4 times)
And no little ducks came running back. (shrug shoulders and pass head left to right)

Then Daddy duck said “Quack, quack, quack.” (make a big duck mouth with both hands, open and close 3 times)
And three little ducks came running back. (pass 3 fingers in front of your body from left to right)
