A little song that we can sing

And little bells that go din-a-ling

something new

 

Everyday is a special day

When I discover something new

Finding out what it’s all about

That’s what I really like to do

Treasures and surprises

Come in all shapes and sizes

I’ll just take a look and see

Under close inspection

Something for my collection

It might be of use to me

I look for clues and traces

Find them in all kinds of places

Something will surely catch my eye

This investigation

Stirs my imagination

Learning more as time goes by

It’s a very special day

When I discover something new

Something new, something new

changes

 

Changes in the weather

Changes in the scene

Changes here and there

And changes in between

Changes through the seasons

Changes through the years

People go through changes

Sometimes laughter, sometimes tears

Everything changes

Nothing stays the same

Yesterday was sunny

Today it’s gonna rain

“what about changes that happen at school?”

Changes at my school

Moving on from grade to grade

Got a brand new teacher

Brand new friends I’ve made

Going to the library

Exchanging books to read

Change can be stimulating

Food for thought, indeed 

“what about changes that happen at home?”

Baby needs a diaper change

Mommy needs a break

A change in her routine

Would be like icing on a cake

Changes in our family

We’re one more than before

Change has come to our house

And it’s knocking at the door

“what about different things you like to eat?”

I like the taste of chocolate

I like the taste of lime

And I choose different flavours

From time to time

I like to chew a ‘gummi bear’

Or tangy lemon drop

Today I’ve got a craving for a cherry lollypop

“listen here now”

I need to mind my manners

I mustn’t be so rude

I need to change my tone of voice

And change my attitude

Time to change bad habits

Into good ones I suppose

No more biting my finger nails

Or picking my nose

The night changes to day

The weeks go by so fast

Some things I didn’t know before

Now seem so clear at last

Changes can turn

Something bad to something good

Life is full of change

Just look around the neighbourhood

“you need to change the water in your fish bowl”

“you need to change your socks”

“can you change a dollar?”

“keep the change”

“the changing of the guards!”

my best friend

 

  “My best friend is that little voice

   Right inside my head

   That feeling, a gentle tug

   From a magic golden thread

   My constant companion

   My conscience and my guide

   My best friend is like a teacher

   Who lives right here inside”

My best friend shows me the way

To live my life from day to day

My best friend teaches me

To listen with my heart

My best friend helps me to see

The best in you, the best in me

With acts of kindness, words of peace

A healing happens and a pain will cease

My best friend opens the gate

Of learning to appreciate

All the good that comes to me

In gratitude I see

My best friend enlightens me

To the meaning of integrity

So that words that I may say to you

Are only words I know to be true

 

My best friend is always there

To keep me safe and sound

To guide me on my journey

I walk softly on the ground  

My best friend makes my heart sing

Of all the joy that love can bring

My best friend helps me to see

All things in harmony

My best friend empowers me

To think ‘one world community’

We’re all connected hand in hand

Like drops of water, tiny grains of sand

Like drops of water, tiny grains of sand

Like drops of water, tiny grains of sand

i wanna iguana

                                          

You know I wanna iguana

Mama you know I want it so

I wanna, wanna iguana

Let’s go down to Mexico

 

Hamsters run ‘round in circles

Doggies run in the snow

But iguana, cool and chillin’

Take it easy, nice and slow

 

In the pet store it’s so noisy

Critters fuss and make a din

But iguana smiles and sits there

Nothing seems to bother him

 

Children like a chihuahua

Children like a pussy cat

But I would go for an iguana

At the drop of a hat

activities

 

    

summer time

 

Summer time, summer time

Walking in the warm sunshine

Summer time, summer time

Happy as can be     (repeat)

Playing in the summer sun

Making friends, having fun

Hear the pretty meadow lark

Hear the children in the park

Gather seashells by the shore

Hear the might ocean roar

Building castles in the sand

Listen to the music band

Diving, swimming, ride a boat

Stride jump, learning how to float

Kayak, sailboat, red canoe

Goggles, snorkel, flippers too

Going down the waterslide

Splashing waves, what a ride

Have a picnic, playing ball

Stand under a waterfall

 

activities 

 

moon & stars     

 

Talking ‘bout the moon and stars      

Shimmering in the night

Lying on the ground, looking at the sky              

It’s such a wondrous sight

A peaceful feeling coming over me            

Makes everything alright

Talking ‘bout the moon and stars tonight

 

Talking ‘bout a boat that sails

Gliding on the waves at sea

Rocking like a cradle of a baby child

A comforting memory

Shifting winds from day to day

It’s the journey of a life for me

Talking ‘bout a boat that sails at sea

Talking ‘bout a bird that sings

The sweetest melody

Perched in the branches of an old oak tree

And singing soft to me

When I’m feeling sad and lonely now

It keeps me company

Talking ‘bout a bird that sings to me

 

Talking ‘bout a rose in bloom

A delicate sweet perfume 

Reawakening forgotten dreams

It fills this empty room

Waiting for so long just to sing this song

Like a secret in old Pharaoh’s tomb

talking ‘bout a rose in bloom, in bloom

 

Talking ‘bout a rose, talking ‘bout a bird’

Talking ‘bout a boat and talking ‘bout the moon

Talking ‘bout the moon and stars

groovy grandparents

 

Groovy grandparents take me for a ride

Groovy grandparents walking side by side

Groovy grandparents love me, yes it’s true

Groovy grandparents, and I love them too    

 

They take me to the playground

They take me to the zoo

They take me to the corner store

To buy a snack or two

They ask me lots of questions

They like to know what’s new

They really seem quite interested

In everything I do

Sometimes I sleep over

My ‘jammies’ in my bag

My tooth brush and my favourite toy

My puppy dog, ‘Wigwag’

We sit together on the couch

Sometimes watch TV

Sometimes we play board games

Or they read books to me

 

I like their high school yearbooks

Look a funny photographs

Groovy clothes and groovy hair-do’s

Make me smile or make me laugh

Grandpa plays his red guitar

He loved those 60’s bands

Grandma swaying to the music

Waving both her hands

Go grandma, you go girl!

Aw, pick it grandpa

 

Now I really have to tell you

One thing is for sure

When I’m feeling sad

My grandparents are the cure

They make me feel so good

In their very special way

They’re always in the audience

When I put on a play

bumpy ride

 

My teddy woke this morning

And fell right out of bed

Kerplunk! and ‘ouch’ he said

And bonked his sleepy head

It’s a bumpy ride

It’s a bumpy ride

It’s a b b b b b b bumpy ride

 

My dolly’s got a stuffed up nose

I thought I heard her sneeze

And so I made some lemonade

To make her feel at ease

 

Oh me, oh my

 

‘Hunky’ my toy monkey

Jumped up in the air

And did a flying somersault

And tumbled down the stairs

 

My froggie, my grenouille

Jumped on a lily pad

But slipped into the sticky mud

And now he feels so sad

Oh me, oh my

Giraffe fell off her bicycle

And scraped both of her knees

I gave her seven band-aids

Giraffe, stop crying, please

activities 

just a walk in the park

  

Love is like the sunlight

When you hold it in your heart

In times of pain or trouble

It will light up the dark

It will warm you, empower you

Inspire with a spark

Of grace, to make your journey

Just a walk in the park

i love you, good night

 

Nothing to say anymore today

It’s time to climb into bed sleepy head

Tomorrow will bring something new for you

Pa pa pa, mmmm

So turn out the light

I love you, good night

 

Nothing to do anymore today

Your toys will stay in their place

And wait for you

Tomorrow you’ll think of new games to play

Pa pa pa, mmmm 

So turn out the light

I love you, good night

 

Close your eyes

And all the happy thoughts you keep

Will rock you gently in your sleep

And in your dreams you will travel far away

Till you wake up and step

Into a brand new day

 

Your eyes full of wonder

Your heart full of love

Will strengthen your wings

When you fly, little dove

Tomorrow the sun will shine down for you

Pa pa pa, mmmm

So turn out the light

I love you, good night

So turn out the light

I love you, good night
