Butterflies

(Make a butterfly by placing your thumbs together and moving your hands like wings)

Butterflies float,

And butterflies fly.

Butterflies low,

And butterflies high.

Butterflies flutter

Over everything.

And when they stop,

They fold their wings.

Flutter, Flutter, Butterfly

(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Flutter, flutter butterfly

Floating in the springtime sky.

Floating by for all to see,

Floating by so merrily.

Flutter, flutter, butterfly,

Floating in the springtime sky!

My Friendly Caterpillar

My friendly Caterpillar

(Fingers crawl up arm)

Made its cocoon one day.

(close hands together)

It turned into a butterfly

(Open hands with thumbs hooked together)

And quickly flew away.

(flap hands)
