Nursery Rhymes, Songs, and Fingerplays for Kids
Butterfly, butterfly, flutter around.
Butterfly, butterfly, touch the ground.
Butterfly, butterfly, fly so free.
Butterfly, butterfly, land on me!
Butterfly, butterfly, reach the sky.
Butterfly, butterfly, say good-bye.
This rhyme is in the style of Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear and works well with a butterfly or spring theme.
The evening is coming, the sun sinks to rest;
The crows are all flying straight home to the nest.
“Caw!” says the crow, as he flies overhead;
“It’s time little people were going to bed!”
The flowers are closing; the daisy’s asleep
The primrose is buried in slumber so deep.
Closed for the night are the roses so red;
It’s time little people were going to bed!
The butterfly, drowsy, has folded its wing;
The bees are returning; no more the birds sing.
The labor is over, their nestlings are fed;
It’s time little people were going to bed!
Winking, blinking, winking, blinking,
See that little light.
Now it’s here,
Now it’s there,
Now it’s out of sight.
Winking, blinking, winking, blinking,
Fireflies at night.
