Caterpillar Finger Plays

This nursery finger play comes with pictures, hand motions and piano sheet music for early learning and kindergarten teachers.

 Fuzzy little caterpillar,

Crawling, crawling on the ground!

Fuzzy little caterpillar, 

Nowhere, nowhere to be found

Though we've looked and looked and hunted 

Everywhere around!

 When the little caterpillar 

Found his furry coat too tight,

Then a snug cocoon he made him

Spun of silk so soft and light;

Rolled himself away within it--

Slept there day and night.

See how this cocoon is stirring!

Now a little head we spy--

What! Is this our caterpillar 

Spreading gorgeous wings to dry?

Soon the free and happy creature

Flutters gayly by.

Sheet music to accompany the finger play.
