\nLittle Mouse, Little Mouse, Are you in the [insert color] house?
\n(Underneath different colored flannel houses, I place different flannel animals. Using a cat puppet, we go in search of the mouse flannel\u2026)<\/p>\n
\nHere is a spring flower who’s happy
\nHere is a spring flower who sighs
\nHere is a spring flower who’s sleepy
\nHere is a spring flower who cries
\nHere is a spring flower who’s angry
\nHere is a spring flower who’s sad
\nHere is a spring flower who’s noisy
\nAnd here is a spring flower who’s glad!<\/p>\n
\nThree little tulips I once grew,
\nA white one, a pink one, a red one too.
\nOne little tulip grew, grew, grew.
\nIt grew taller than the other two,
\nThe other two, the other two.
\nIt grew taller than the other two!

\nI\u2019ll give her a smile (smile)
