Snail Song
With the snail experience yesterday and the Lion Dance/mask talk, I decided to indulge in a snail mask project with the kids. I also read and shared some basic facts about snails. Given children at these young ages learn when sung musically, I made up an impromptu snail song which we ended up singing at group time and humming during the day. Here goes along the tune of ‘Where is Thumbkin?’.
Snails are mollusks
Snails are mollusks
They have heads

They have little tails too

And a big shell

Where do snails live?

On land and water

What do the snails eat?

They crawl around

Snails are our friends

Let them be

On ground or in water

Enjoy the weekend. Do spy your ‘snail’ child below or play peek-a-boo with the snail mask singing the snail song :)
See you on Monday.
