Watch it bloom for you!	(open cupped hands gradually.)

Preschoolers

Rhyme: "Little Raindrops"

This is the sun, high up in the sky.	(make a large circle with arms in the air)
A dark cloud suddenly comes sailing by	(move hands through the air)

Pitter, pattering down
Watering the flowers,	(cup hands to form flowers.)
Growing on the ground!	(move hands up like growing flower)
