Caterpillar Songs and Action Rhymes

Munchy Caterpillar
by Debbie Hasbrook

Munchy little caterpillar,
Crawling oh so slow,
Munching up leaves
Everywhere you go,
So much work,
No time to play,
How many leaves
Will you eat today?
Picture

Creepy Crawly Caterpillar
author unknown

A creepy crawly caterpillar that I see. (shade eyes)
Makes a chrystalis in the big oak tree. (make body into a ball)
He stays there, and I know why. (slowly stand up)
Because soon he will be a butterfly (flap arms)

Caterpillar Change
author unknown

There was a little caterpillar crawling all about. (Walk with fingers on arm)
He worked and he worked without a doubt. (Wiggle fingers)
Wrapping himself in a snug cocoon. (Wrap other hand around fingers)
Waiting and waiting, will it be soon? (hold fingers)
Look, he's coming out, my oh my! (raise arms in excitement)
For now he's become a beautiful butterfly (Cross thumbs and flap hands like wings)

The Caterpillar
author unknown

The fuzzy little caterpillar went up into a tree (act like your climbing)
Spun his cocoon and then (yawn) went to sleep (spin hands)
While he was sleeping he dreamt that he could fly (making flying motion)
When he woke up (loud, excited) he was a butterfly.

The Little Caterpillar
Sing to tune of "Itsy, Bitsy Spider"
author unknown

The little caterpillar crawled up into a tree,
Spun his cocoon and slept so quietly,
All through the winter he didn't make a sound,
He dreamt of his new life when he'd be flying all around.
While he was sleeping the snow did gently fall,
Winter came and went, then I heard the robin's call,
Come on Mr. Butterfly, out of your cocoon
Spread your wings and fly for me, while I sing my tune.
Picture

The Little Caterpillar
Sing to tune of "Row, row your boat"
author unknown

One caterpillar , two caterpillars, three caterpillars today.
Four caterpillars, five caterpillars eating all the day.
One cocoon, two cocoons three cocoons today.
Four cocoons, five cocoons sleeping all the day.
One butterfly, two butterflies three butterflies today.
Four butterflies, five butterflies, flying, flying away.

Fuzzy Caterpillar
author unknown

The fuzzy caterpillar curled up on a leaf.
Spun her little chrysalis and then fell fast asleep.
While she was sleeping, she dreamed that she could fly.
And later when she woke up, she was a butterfly.
Picture

Oh, Butterfly
Sing to tune of "Oh Christmas Tree"
author unknown

Oh, butterfly, Oh, butterfly
Oh how I love your colors.
Oh, butterfly, Oh, butterfly
Oh how I love your colors.
You fly so high and beautiful,
You are so soft and fragile,
Oh, butterfly, Oh, butterfly,
How I love your colors.

I'm a Tiny Egg
Sing to tune of "Skip to my Lou"
author unknown

I'm a tiny egg under a leaf
I'm a tiny egg under a leaf
I'm a tiny egg under a leaf
That's the first part of my metamorphosis.


I'm a hungry caterpillar eating up leaves
I'm a hungry caterpillar eating up leaves
I'm a hungry caterpillar eating up leaves
That's the second part of my metamorphosis.


I make a chrysalis and take a nap inside
I make a chrysalis and take a nap inside
I make a chrysalis and take a nap inside
That's the third part of my metamorphosis.


I wake up and emerge as a butterfly
I wake up and emerge as a butterfly
I wake up and emerge as a butterfly
That's the fourth part of my metamorphosis



Friendly Caterpillar
author unknown

A friendly caterpillar 
(Fingers crawl up arm)
Made its chrysalis one day.
(close hands together)
It turned into a butterfly
(Open hands with thumbs hooked together)
And quickly flew away.
(flap hands)


Beautiful Fluttery Butterfly
author unknown

Here is the chrysalis on a twig on a tree
Something is stirring. Let's wait and see
Something comes out with wings folded tight
Now they are spreading all ready for flight
It's a beautiful fluttery butterfly
Away it goes flying - goodbye, goodbye.


Chubby Caterpillar
Sing to tune of "Adams Family"
author unknown

My tummy is fat (snap, snap)
I like it like that (snap, snap)
I wiggle around
I jiggle around
My tummy is fat (snap, snap)
I'm a striped caterpillar
I'm such a chubby feller
I love to eat and eat
Those leaves are a treat (repeat first 5 lines)

Picture

Fuzzy Wuzzy Caterpillar
author unknown

Fuzzy, wuzzy caterpillar
Into a corner will crawl. (squat and move to a corner)
He’ll spin himself a blanket (move head in a spin)
And then go fast asleep (pretend to sleep)
Fuzzy, wuzzy caterpillar
Wakes up by and by ( wake up, slowly move arms)
To find he has wings of beauty
Changed into a butterfly. (fly with arms)
