This song is available on Margie La Bella's Move!

Tiny little caterpillar crawling on the ground.
Crawling up on grass and trees without a single sound.

Hungry little caterpillar chewing on the leaves.
 Up on top of bark and branches swaying in the breeze.

Spinning little caterpillar make a chrysalis.
A sleeping bag tucked all around you. Did you Picture this?

Sleepy sleepy caterpillar dreaming of the air.
Sleepy caterpillar – imagine what’s up there?

Wake up little caterpillar. Open up your eyes.
Break out of your chrysalis. You are a Butterfly!

Flying freely butterfly, what can you see from the air?
    Do you see clouds and the sun and the children below down there?

Purpose:
To stimulate pretending and other higher process thinking skills. To foster focus, bodily relaxation and the concept of slow.

Other uses:
To teach about how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly.  Sometimes our lives can do such. Making dreams come true.
