 Words by Crystal Ball O’Connor, Ph.D
Motions by Sharon Kazee
Butterfly, Butterfly way up high
Make a butterfly by placing thumbs together and, with closed fingers, waving hands (Older children may lock thumbs
together.).
Let the hands “fly” upward.
What’s it like to kiss the sky?
Kiss fingertips and throw hands up skyward.
Butterfly, Butterfly where will you go
Create “butterfly hands” as in first verse, but then separate hands and put them behind your back.
And what shall you do when you get there?
Shrug shoulders and look around the room, keeping hands behind backs.
Butterfly, Butterfly what will you do
Create “butterfly hands” as in first verse, then hold hands out and shrug shoulders for the question.
When wintertime is through?
Create pretend snowflakes falling by wiggling fingers in a downward motion, then smooth the hands in a horizontal, outward motion, like snowflakes falling on still ground.
Butterfly, butterfly, have a safe flight
Create “butterfly hands” as in first verse, and let them fly away to the side.
We’ll watch you and watch you ‘til day turns to night.
Cup hands over eyes to see far away, and then move the hands to the side of the head and “fall asleep.”
