Butterfly, Butterfly

Butterfly, butterfly dancing all around  (hook thumbs & fly fingers up and down)  

Butterfly, butterfly now you’re on the ground  (flutter fingers to the floor)  

In a tree hard to see, now you’ve flown away  (flutter fingers up and behind back)  

Butterfly, butterfly please come back someday (flutter fingers to front again) 

Ready to Read Skill- Using Books (Print Awareness)

Your child will love turning the pages on pop-up books like The Very Lazy Ladybug.


Big Bug, Little Bug is great for showing kids that words mean different things. With the word"BIG" in large font and the word "little" in small font, children begin to understand that print carries meaning.

Try turning The Itsy, Bitsy Spider upside down and see if your baby notices!
