Tiny Seeds

Tiny seed planted just right
(tuck into a ball)

Not a breath of air, nor a ray of light

Rain falls slowly to and fro

And now the seed begins to grow
(start to unfold slowly)

Slowly reaching for the light

With all its energy, with all its might

The little seed's work is almost done

To grow up tall and face the sun
(stand up with arms stretched out)

My Garden

This is my garden
(extend palm)

I rake it with care
(pretend to rake with three fingers)

And then I plant flower seeds in there
(pretend to plant)

The sun will shine
(hold arms in circle over head)

and the rain will fall
(wiggle fingers on both hands as move downwards)

and my garden will blossom
(cup hands)

and grow straight and tall
(stretch arms/hands up slowly)

Little Plant

In the heart of a seed
buried down so deep
(make a fist)

A little plant
lay fast asleep
Awake said the sun
(make large circle over head wth arms)
Come up through the earth

Awake said the rain
(flutter fingertips down)
We're giving you birth

The little plant heard
(open hand, turn fingers upward, raise arm slowly)
with a happy sigh,
and pointed its petals
up to the sky.
