These are the songs, poems, and handplays for our weekly Waldorf in the Woods playgroup for February and March. Our puppet show will be The Porridge Pot, and will be told using table puppets.<\/p>\n
I’ve included short clips of the two new songs and “Star Secrets” is sung to the tune of\u00c2\u00a0 “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” -\u00c2\u00a0 the rest are spoken. When I have a chance I’ll try and repost the vids I have of our old standby songs or make new ones.<\/p>\n

Follow, follow me<\/p>\n
To the ring of the fairies<\/p>\n
Follow, follow me,<\/p>\n
Where the fairies dance and sing.<\/p>\n
Gather with you now<\/p>\n
All the magic you can carry,<\/p>\n
As we circle \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcround the dancing fairy ring.<\/p>\n
Now look around<\/p>\n
We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve made a ring<\/p>\n
By holding hands you see.<\/p>\n
Yes, here I am,<\/p>\n
And there you are,<\/p>\n
Together we are we.<\/p>\n
Rain by Robert Louis Stevenson<\/p>\n
The rain is raining all around<\/p>\n
It falls on field and tree,<\/p>\n
It rains on the umbrellas here,<\/p>\n
And on the ships at sea.<\/p>\n
Knock, Knock Gnomes by Betty Jones<\/p>\n
Knock, knock gnomes, in our homes<\/p>\n
Of stony rock, we knock, knock, knock!<\/p>\n
To make our way, to the light of day,<\/p>\n
For shining light makes our gems bright!<\/p>\n
Seeds will grow, reflect and show<\/p>\n
The colors of our good Mother Earth!<\/p>\n
Begin by crouching in a circle. Tap one fist on top of the other alternately while all slowly rise until upright. End by fluttering fingers high overhead to reflect colors while turning in place.<\/em><\/p>\n Gnome Song<\/p>\n When the gnomes go underground<\/p>\n With the flowers they have found<\/p>\n With seeds bags on their back<\/p>\n They march in boots of black<\/p>\n When the cold winds blow \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcneath the roof of snow<\/p>\n They dance and work and sing<\/p>\n With the seeds they store in a cave dug before<\/p>\n They sleep and wait for spring<\/p>\n When the gnomes go underground<\/p>\n With the flowers they have found<\/p>\n With the seeds bags on their back<\/p>\n They march in boots of black<\/p>\n They march in boots of black<\/p>\n They march in boots of black.<\/p>\n [youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Roc9ECLAgwM]<\/p>\n Star Secrets by Margret Meyerkort<\/p>\n Twinkle, twinkle little star<\/p>\n How I wonder what you are?<\/p>\n Art thou a gateway in the sky?<\/p>\n Art thou a little angel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s eye?<\/p>\n Shine your starry light to earth.<\/p>\n Bring a thousand stars to birth.<\/p>\n Stars in seed pod, apple, pear,<\/p>\n Stars in flowers everywhere.<\/p>\n So you guide me near and far,<\/p>\n Twinkle, twinkle, little star<\/p>\n [youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8jgr5cGvC4I]<\/p>\n Shivering, Quivering by Betty Jones<\/p>\n Shivering, quivering, freezing cold\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Hug self and shiver body and voice<\/em><\/p>\n Rub your hands, then your arms hold.
