Butterfly Ladybug Bumblebee by Super Simple Songs

Five Little Caterpillars by The Kiboomers
BOUNCE RHYME (bounce along with child in lap)
Grasshoppers Jump
(Sung to: “Three Blind Mice”)
Jump, jump, jump
Grasshoppers jump
They jump over here
And jump over there
They jump up high and they jump down low.
Around and around and around they go.
They jump fast, and they jump slow.
Oh, grasshoppers jump
ACTION RHYMES
Take Me Out to the Backyard
(Sung to: “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”)
Take me out to the backyard.
Take me out with the bugs.
Locusts and beetles and dragonflies,
If I look hard, I may even see slugs.
Let me look, look, look in the bushes
The trees, ‘neath rocks and the lawn—
For it’s one, five, ten flies I see
And now they’re gone!
Roly-Poly Caterpillar
Roly-poly caterpillar
(wiggle right pointer finger)
Into a corner crept,
(place right pointer finger in left cupped hand)
Spun around himself a blanket
(spin around)
Then for a long time slept.
(place head on folded hands)
Roly-poly caterpillar
(wiggle right pointer finger)
Wakening by and by,
(“stretch” right pointer finger)
Found himself with beautiful wings
Changed to a butterfly.
(flutter arms like wings)
Bumblebee on My Nose
(Sung to: “Jingle Bells”)
Bumblebee, bumblebee,
Landing on my toes.
Bumblebee, bumblebee,
Now he’s on my no-ose!
On my arms, on my legs,
On my elbows now.
Bumblebee, oh bumblebee,
He lands and then he goes!
Flutter, Flutter, Butterfly
(Sung to: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)
Flutter, flutter, butterfly.
Floating in the summer sky.
Floating by for all to see,
Floating by so merrily.
Flutter, flutter, butterfly,
Floating in the summer sky.
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?
