Scissor Story: Bunny’s Garden Adventure

Once there was a little bunny with two long ears.
They hop and hop and hop right into a hole!
But then it smelt something good!
They peaked their head out of the hole and went on an adventure!

They hopped straight down the garden path.
But they heard something coming,
So they started hopping to the side to get out of the way.
They started hopping around in circles like this!
Eventually, bunny realized that nothing was coming and that they needed to get back to the path!
On their way back to the path, bunny could smell that delicious sweet smell,
What could it be?
Bunny hopped around looking for it…
Finally, he found that delicious smelling snack,
Do you know what it is?
A flower!

Scarf Song: “Shakin’ Down the Sugar” by Laurie Berkner

Doy Doy Doy shakin down the sugar
To the right to the left and up and down

Play your drums until the morning comes
Play your drums
Play your drums until the morning comes
Play your drums

Doy Doy Doy shakin down the sugar
To the right to the left and up and down

Play your violin tuck it underneath your chin
Play Your violin
Play your violin tuck it underneath your chin
Play Your violin

To the right to the left and up and down

Play your piano everywhere you go
Play your piano
Play your piano everywhere you go

To the right to the left and up and down

Play your saxophone and you’ll never be alone
Play your saxophone
Play your saxophone and you’ll never be alone
Play your saxophone

Doy Doy Doy shakin down the sugar
To the right to the left and up and down
