Can you move with me?
Sung to: "Do Your Ears Hang Low"

Can you wiggle like a worm?
Can you squiggle? Can you squirm?
Can you flutter? Can you fly like a gentle butterfly?
Can you crawl upon the ground
Like a beetle that is round?
Can you move with me?
Can you flip? Can you flop?
Can you give a little hop?
Can you slither like a snake?
Can you give a little shake?
Can you dance like bee
Who is buzzing round a tree?
Can you move with me?


Oh, the ants are busy!
Sung to: "She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain"

Oh, the ants are busy, busy as can be.



Ladybug Fly

The flowers smile at me


Dandelions
Sung to: "Mary Had A Little Lamb"

Once there was a dandy lady,
Dandy lady, dandy lady,
Once there was a dandy lady,
Who loved to dance, they say.

As time passed by and she grew old,.................
Her hair all turned to grey.
Now when the dandy lady dances,.................
Her hair all blows away.

In our springtime garden.

Spring is here, spring is here


Parts of the flower
Sung to: "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"

Do you know the parts of plants, parts of plants?

All kinds of plants that grow and grow and grow.
Do you know the parts of plants, parts of plants?
The roots hold the plant in place, plant in place.
The roots hold the plant in place, plant in place.
The roots store food and water too.
The roots hold the plant in place, plant in place.
The stem moves water up the plant, up the plant.
The stem moves water up the plant, up the plant.
The stem brings water to the leaves.
The stem moves water up the plant, up the plant.
The leaves soak up the sun, soak up the sun.
The leaves soak up the sun, soak up the sun.
The sun helps the plant to grow and grow and grow.
The leaves soak up the sun, soak up the sun.
The flower grows into a fruit, into a fruit.
The flower grows into a fruit, into a fruit.
Inside the fruit are little, tiny seeds.
The flower grows into a fruit, into a fruit.

Millipede
Tune: Polly Wolly Doodle

Said the millipede,
As he gave a little squirm,
"Has anybody seen a leg o' mine?
If it can't be found,
I'll have to hop around
On the other nine hundred ninety-nine."

"Hop around, hop around,
On the other nine hundred ninety-nine;
If it can't be found,
I'll have to hop around
On the other nine hundred ninety-nine."
