The Fuzzy Caterpillar
Tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider

The fuzzy caterpillar
Curled up on a leaf,
Spun her little chrysalis
And then fell fast asleep.
While she was sleeping
She dreamed that she could fly,
And later when she woke up
She was a butterfly!
 

Caterpillar/Butterfly Scarf Dance

Tune: Wheels on the Bus

The caterpillars are wriggling around,
wriggling around,
wriggling around.
The caterpillars are wriggling around,
all around the ground.

The caterpillars are building a cocoon,
building a cocoon,
building a cocoon.
The caterpillars are building a cocoon
all around the ground.

The butterflies are flying around,
flying around,
flying around.
The butterflies are flying around,
all around the ground.
