Spring Puppet Song

Puppets:
Any animal could be adapted for this song. I used:
cardinal
cat
sheep

Props:
none

Our Spring Song
[tune:  Slippery Fish]

A small red bird,
a small red bird
sitting on her nest
a small red bird,
a small red bird
tweet! tweet! tweet!

A tabby cat,
a tabby cat
sleeping in the sun
a tabby cat,
a tabby cat
meow! meow! meow!

A soft white sheep,
a soft white sheep
grazing in the field
a soft white sheep,
a soft white sheep
baa! baa! baa!

You could continue with as many animals as hold their interest.

Mom and I got on the bus
a ______ sat down next to us

In the Pond

I used this song in conjunction with Walt Whippo's Little White Duck, so I used puppets pertaining to the narrative. You could use any puppets related to pond life.

Puppets:
tiny mouse
white duck
green frog

"The Animals at the Pond"
[Tune: The Wheels on the Bus]

The mouse at the pond goes
squeak, squeak, squeak,
squeak, squeak, squeak,
squeak, squeak, squeak
The mouse at the pond goes
squeak, squeak, squeak
all day long.

Continue with the other animals.

Easy and fun!
