One enormous elephant
Marching down the street,
With 2 large ears and 4 big feet.
He passed a friend
Who wasn't afraid
To join his friend
And form a parade.

Two enormous elephants
Marching down the street,
With 4 large ears and 8 big feet.
They passed a friend
Who wasn't afraid
To join the group
And form a parade.

Three enormous elephants
Marching down the street,
With 6 large ears and 12 big feet

Rhyme/Sign Language: Excuse Me

If I bump into someone I say "excuse me".
If I need to interrupt I say "excuse me".
I can see it makes people happy when I say it so politely
Yes, good manners mean to always say "excuse me"!

Eyedropper Painting
Fill an ice cube tray with water and then put a few drops of food coloring in each of the sections. Make each section a different color. Flatten out a basket type coffee filter. Use a eyedropper to make designs on the coffee filter. Each color will spread and run into the other colors. Let the filters dry completely and don't forget to put down some newspaper or your table will likely be stained.
