The Mixed up Chameleon
by Eric Carle

Magnet Board
(tune: If You're Happy and You Know It)

Oh, I wish I was a floating butterfly
Oh, I wish I was a floating butterfly
I'd go flutter, flutter, fly in the bright blue sunny sky
Oh, I wish I was a floating butterfly.

Additional verses:
Shiny little fish
I'd go swimmy, swimmy, glide in the big blue ocean tide

Silver airplane
I'd go soar, soar, sour as my engines loudly roart

Tall, tall leafy tree
I'd be the place to rest for the birdies in their nest

Green and speckled frog
I'd go croaky, croaky, croak as I jump into the brook

Bright and shining star
I'd go twinkle, twinkle, spark in the nighty nighttime dark.

Boxes

Hello, Hello

Nesting Boxes

Here is a box, let's open it wide
And we'll find out, what's inside...

Last box
Here is a box where something is hid
I wonder whatever is under the lid?
Let's listen for a shout
And see who come out!

Inside last box are a few plastic animals
