The Little Caterpillar
(Sung to "Itsy, Bitsy
Spider") The little caterpillar crawled up into 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,
Winter came and went, then her heard the robin's call,
Come on Mr. Butterfly, out of your cocoon
Spread your wings and fly for me, while I sing my tune.
Butterfly Dance
Staple streamers together to make butterfly wings and have your children hold them and dance like butterflies
