Popcorn Tree
(Tune: “Turkey in the Straw”)
I looked out my window (Hand over eyes.)
And what did I see?
Popcorn popping on my cherry tree. (Hands on hips.)
What a surprise spring left for me.
Popcorn popping in my cherry tree.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. (Wiggle hips to the beat.)
Pop! Pop! (Jump up twice.)
Sing faster…faster…super fast!
PopcornTree - Tracearound the child’s hand and arm on a sheet of paper to resemble a tree trunk.Color or paint the tree. Glue popcorn or cotton balls on the branches to looklike blossoms.
Hint! If you shake popcorn in asack with a little dry tempera it will look like pink blossoms.
FlowerBookmark -Grow into a book with this idea! Each child will need to collect small flowers,petals, and leaves outside. (Remind them to only take things off the ground andnever pull live flowers from a plant!) Give each child 2 pieces of selflaminating paper cut in 8” x 2” strips. Children take the back off one sheetand place it sticky side up on the table. After they arrange their naturalobjects, they place the second sheet on top and seal.
Hint! You can also use widepackaging tape to make these book marks.
