The Itsy Bitsy Seed: An Adapted Song, Story, and Finger Play for Spring (adapted and illustrated by me)

An itsy bitsy seed was planted in the ground.



Down came the rain and gave it a big drink.



Out came the sun and warmed up the soil,


and the itsy bitsy seed sprouted two bright green leaves!


The End

Happy Spring!
Enjoy your day together :)

Your so cool lady.
I showed this to Max and he asked, "why don't you do these kinds of things?"
why not indeed? Because you do so well, was my answer. He has started illustrating his own songs now.
You are such an inspiration.
Don't ever stop being you.
PEACE

Thank you so much. That is such a nice thing to say and your encouragement is inspiring to me. Coming across you online helped me to get in touch again with my early childhood ed. roots! Thank you for that!
