Five Little Flowers
Five little flowers standing in the sun
(hold up five fingers)
See their heads nodding, bowing one by one
(bend fingers one at a time)
Down, down, down
Comes the gentle rain
(raise hands, wiggle fingers, and lower arms)
And the five little flowers
Raise their heads again
(hold up five fingers)
Spring Pastels
Give each child a piece of
pastel-colored chalk(light green, pink, yellow, light blue). Be sure
that two children are using the same color of chalk. Have the
children create a picture on drawing paper. When finished, let each
child take a turn finding the other picture that was done in the same.
Muffin Cup Flowers
An easy flower to make is to use paper muffin cups. The children
flatten the paper muffin cup and glue it on blue construction paper.
That is the flower. Then the children add green paper stem and leaves
(can use pipe cleaners).
Birds Nest
Give each child a large piece of
paper cut in the shape of a nest. Have the children tear brown paper
and paste these onto the nest shape. Give the children string or yarn
pieces to paste onto the torn brown paper. Then give the children
precut egg shapes to paste on top of the nest.
Rain Cutting
Have children cut pieces of white
construction paper or aluminum foil. The children then glue these
shapes onto black or blue construction paper as raindrops.
