Flowers

Flowers tall,
(fingers up)
Flowers small,
(fingers down)
Count them one by one,
1,2,3,4,5,
(touch as you count)
Blowing with the breezes,
(sway side to side)
In the springtime sun!
(arms above head in circle)

Try This

Help your child pretend you are both seeds. Kneel or squat and tuck your head and arms into the smallest possible shape. Then gradually lift up your head, put out your arms with fingers spread, and stand up straight to grow into flowers!
