Birds
You can also do this song with birds of different colors. Just repeat the original version but change the colors of the birds (Two little blue birds, or red birds, or green birds, etc.). It's fun to do with felt birds and let the children call out the colors as you hold them up.
Charlie Hope Version
You can find a pretty tune for this song on the CD I'm Me!, opens a new window by Charlie Hope.
