Songs & Action Rhymes:

Butterfly (To the Tune of: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

(Hook thumbs together and flutter hands and fingers)
Flutter, flutter butterfly
Floating in the springtime sky
Floating by for all to see
Floating by so merrily
Flutter, flutter, butterfly
Floating in the springtime sky!

Tiny Caterpillar (To the tune of "She'll be coming 'round the mountain")

There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf,
Wiggle, wiggle.
There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf,
Wiggle, wiggle.
There’s a tiny caterpillar, tinny caterpillar,
There’s a tiny caterpillar on a leaf,
Wiggle, wiggle.

He will eat the leaves around him ‘til he’s full,
Munch, munch.
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home,
Spin, spin.
Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away,
Flap, flap.

Little Arabella Miller

Little Arabella Miller
Found a woolly caterpillar
First it crawled upon her mother
Then upon her baby brother;
All said, "Arabella Miller
Take away that caterpillar."
