Five Little Birds

This felt set can be used explore counting and colours.

There was one little bird in the one little tree
“He was  so alone and didn’t want to be,
so he flew far away, over the sea
and brought back a friend to live in the tree.

Now there are two little birds in the one little tree
“They were so alone and didn’t want to be,”
so they flew far away over the sea
And brought back a friend to live in the tree.

Now there are three little birds…

Now there are four little birds…

Now there are five little birds in the one little tree
“They were not alone anymore, they were a family,”

This song can easily be changed to focus on colours by changing the last line of each verse.

There was one little bird in the one little tree
“He was  so alone and didn’t want to be,
so he flew far away, over the sea
and brought back a red bird to live in the tree.
