“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!

5 Favorite Preschool Spring Songs and Fingerplays
I love to have a song (or five) in mind for every occasion – and printable lyrics posters to go along with them.
When kids sing along with lyrics posters they:
- Practice counting
- Learn one-to-one correspondence
- Develop literacy skills
- Stay engaged longer
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! The printables also look great on the refrigerator – or the classroom wall.

- Print the five PDF files.
- Put the lyrics posters in a binder to keep them organized and wrinkle-free – or post them around the house or classroom.
- Use the Mp3s to learn the songs or sing along.
- Encourage your kids to point to the images on the page. Count them, name them, and discuss the colors.
- Occasionally trace your finger under the words as you sing.
- Sing often and with joy!

Preschool Spring Songs and Fingerplays Lyrics
I Love the Flowers
I love the flowers,
I love the daffodils.
I love the mountains,
I love the rolling hills.
I love the fireside,
When the lights are low.
Boom de ada, boom de ada,
Boom de ada, boom de ada.
Boom de ada, boom de ada,
Boom de ada, boom de ada,
Boom.
Good Morning Little Bluebird
Good morning little bluebird,
Bluebird, bluebird,
Good morning little bluebird,
So glad to see you.
Good morning to the flowers,
Flowers, flowers.
Good morning to the flowers,
So glad to see you.
Good morning to the raindrops,
Raindrops, raindrops.
Good morning to the raindrops,
So glad to see you.
Good morning to the Springtime,
Springtime, Springtime.
Good morning to the Springtime,
So glad to see you.

Five Little Ladybugs
Five little ladybugs peeping at the door,
One flew away and then there were four.
Four little ladybugs sitting by a tree,
One flew away and then there were three.
Three little ladybugs looking at you,
One flew away and then there were two.
Two little ladybugs playing in the sun,
One flew away and then there was one.
One little ladybug left all alone,
She flew away and then there were none.
