One Little Lion
1 little lion, roaring in the zoo. Called for another: ROAR!
And that makes 2.
2 little lions, underneath a tree. Called for another: ROAR! ROAR!
And that makes 3.
3 little lions who heard a distant roar. Called for another: ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
And that makes 4.
4 little lions, happy and alive. Called for another: ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
And then there were 5.
Ladybug Song
(tune: There’s a spider on the floor; words by Tammy Henry)
I made these ladybugs from felt and used black "puff paint" for the eyes and dots. The kids moved the ladybugs around while we sang the song.
Chorus:
There’s a ladybug in the air, in the air
There’s a ladybug in the air, in the air
There’s a ladybug in the air, she flies without a care,
There’s a ladybug in the air, in the air.
There’s a ladybug in my hair
Try to catch her if you dare
[Sing chorus following each verse, if desired]
Toes
She stopped there for a doze
Thumb
Chewing bubble gum
Chin
It makes me stop and grin
Chest
Time to take a rest
Mary had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

I cut brown and yellow circles out using the 4" die. I found a (teddy bear) head on the Internet and copied it onto different shades of yellow paper. I cut out the heads. The kids glued the head into the center of the circle, then cut slits all the way around the circle to make the lion's mane.
