Flower Song File ToddlersBy Christy McDoniel

FLOWERS EVERYWHERE Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" Flowers, flowers everywhere,In the garden, in my hair.In the vase, at the store,On the table, on the door.What a lovely time of year,Flowers blooming, bringing cheer.Jean Warren

PRETTY FLOWERSTune: "Jingle Bells" Pretty flowers, pretty flowers,Growing everywhere.Here are some pretty flowersFor your coat or hair. Pretty flowers, pretty flowers,Gold and pink and blue.Red and yellow, orange and purple,I picked them just for you!Jean Warren

A Song of Flowers Original Author Unknown

Sung to: "Sing a Song of Sixpence"

Sing a song of flowers, flowers all around.Flowers that are growing, growing in the groundFlowers of each color And blue and purple, too make a pretty view.Red and orange and yellow.

FLOWERS GROWING SONGTune: "The Mulberry Bush" Have your children lay on the floor and curl up into balls.Have them pretend they are tiny seeds buried in the ground. This is the way we sprout our roots,Sprout our roots, sprout our roots.This is the way we sprout our roots,When spring time is here. This is the way we pop through the dirt,Pop through the dirt, pop through the dirt.This is the way we pop through the dirtWhen spring time is here.Jean WarrenAdditional verses:

This is the way we stretch and grow.This is the way we shoot up so tall.This is the way we open our buds.This is the way we bend in the breeze.This is the way we smile at the sun.
