Celebrate Spring with Spectacular Songs and Fingerplays {Printable}

Inside: A round-up of preschool Spring songs and fingerplays plus 3 free printable lyric sheets and mp3s. Learn joyful songs while kids build literacy & pre-math skills.

“Mama, look! A snail!” my son squealed, his eyes wide. I felt a smile spread across my face. A snail means the world is waking up. 

 A snail means Spring is here! 

It’s time to plan camping trips, play with ladybugs, and brush up on my favorite spring songs for kids!

Spring Songs for Kids – Free Printables

I love to have a song (or five) in mind for every occasion – and I love making printable lyric sheets to go along with my favorites.

When kids sing along with these printables they:

• Practice counting
• Learn one-to-one correspondence
• Develop literacy skills
• Stay engaged longer

Plus, the printables help me remember new song lyrics.

I keep my printables in sheet protectors in a binder. When my kids come across the binder, they flip through the pages, ask me to sing – or even sing by themselves!

I’ve put together a package of 5 printable lyric sheets and Mp3s. You can download them for free below.
