Spring is coming!

Can’t wait for the wonders of Spring, there’s so much to look forward to:

When you see a daffodil
  • new growth
  • budding trees and blossom
  • bird song and nesting
  • frog and toad spawn
  • longer, brighter and warmer days
  • time to get out in the garden
  • Spring festivals

Find links to Spring festivals, special days and Spring poems:

The songs, rhymes and poems below will all help to open doors and eyes to a constantly changing world outside and the growing seeds of love to be found there. 
It’s mid December and there’s are already daffodils in the garden!

In the lists below you will find direct links to:
My original home ‘Singing games for children’ Spring collections which include lyrics, sheet music and chords, midi file plus a YouTube link for each song.
This new ‘River of song’ website page as it grows will include either a lyrics, sheet music and chords page or a PDF plus a YouTube link to each song.
More links will be added as time permits especially where they are absent from my old website. Let me know if I need to give priority to the Spring songs and poems that you would appreciate.
