Each day, visit your tree puppet to create a BREATHING PUPPET SHOW!
"Thank you tree... for air I breathe in!"
(oxygen!)
"Here is a gift you will like, dear Tree (blow)... air I breathe out!"
(carbon dioxide!)
And here is a lovely song for your tree puppets to dance to!
My Roots Go Down, down to the Earth...
Here is the same song sung by kids with MOVEMENT!
Right now, you may notice that the bare brown branches are dressing up for a lovely spring celebration! Even before the green leaves we expect, here come the lovely BLOSSOMS!
The blossoms on the trees have SEEDS deep inside them...
and they will change and change....
making fruits.... and by fall....
dropping their fruits to spread their seeds for new trees....
Look! Here are some OLD TREES!
Trees grow in so many amazing places, holding onto their space with powerful ROOTS.
