The Itsy Bitsy Lady Bug

by Rose Luukhomen
sung to "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

The itsy bitsy lady bug
climbed up a rose one day.
Down came the rain and
the lady bug crawled away.
Out came the sun and
the ladybug came to stay.
"Look at all the aphids,
I found to eat today!

The Rain Begins To Fall

Dorothy Taylor, Kingdom Kids Center
sung to "The Farmer in the Dell"

When the rain begins to fall,
Oh when the rain begins to fall.
The plants will grow real tall,
When the rain begins to fall.

(When that water really rains down,
Oh, when that water really rains down.
The worms come up so they don't drown.
When that water really rains down.)
(second verse added by Evie)

Ode to Sweet Potato Plant

by Linda Porter 3/04
sung to "Farmer in the Dell"

Dear Sweet Potato plant,
Dear Sweet Potato plant,
When will you start to grow your roots,
Dear Sweet Potato plant.

We put your bottom in water,
We keep you in the sun,
And every day we check your growth,
To see if you are done.
How are you?
Our book said 14 days,
Our book said 14 days.
We'll have to wait and watch you grow,
Dear sweet potato plant.

Ladybug, ladybug all around,
Ladybug, ladybug on the ground.
Ladybug, ladybug everywhere,
Ladybug, ladybug in my hair.

Ladybug, ladybug, not quite true,
Japanese beetle is the name for you.
Japanese beele why do you stay?

You were brought over for control,
You didn't know that was your role.
You've multiplied more than they knew,
Japanese Beetle I'm so tired of you!

Lightning, lightning in the sky,
How you make me wonder why
You are loud and oh so bright
How you light the sky at night?

How you make me wonder why.

Sing A Song Of Flowers

by Sandy Svercek
sung to "Sing a Song of Sixpence"

Sing a song of flowers,
They start from little seeds.
Take a pot and plant them,
In the dirt, please.
Sprinkle them with water,
Then place them in the sun.
Isn't planting flowers
lots and lots of fun.

See What Magnets Do?

by Sandy Svercek

Push and pull,
Push and pull.
See what magnets do?
See what magnets do?
Magnets pull together or push apart,
Just hold a magnet - you'll find you are smart.
Push and pull.
Push and pull.

Oil And Water

sung to "Are You Sleeping?"

Oil and water,
Oil and water,
Just won't mix,
Just won't mix.
Blend them in the blender, Heat them in the microwave,
They still won't mix.
They still won't mix.

Crystals, Crystals

by Susan Carlson-Russell
sung to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

Crystals, crystals in the snow,
Floating down to my toes.
Salt and sugar, they are too.
Each one is different and new.
Crystals, crystals in the snow,
Floating down to my toes.

Caterpillar

How are you?
How are you?
Getting much fatter.
Changing my matter.

Flowers Are My Favorite Thing

by Carol Diel
sung to "The Alphabet Song"

I know that they grow in the spring.
They have leaves and petals too.
They have roots and sweet perfume.
Flowers are my favorite thing,
I know that they grow in the spring.

Four Snowmen*

Four Little snowmen fat,
Each wore a seasonal hat.
Out came the sun and melted one,
What a sad thing was that!
Three little snowmen fat...

...*ask children to wear a hat for each season:
spring (visor or bonnet)
winter (knit stocking)
fall ( brim with leaves)
summer ( beach hat)
