Rest Time Song & Verse

Evening Wind
Adapted from Wilma Ellersiek

Blow the evening wind so mild
Rest my little flower child
Lu lu lu lu lu, lu lu lu lu lu

Flowers Grow
Words by Monica Stone
This verse can be accompanied by gentle therapeutic touch to help your child come to a state of rest and wellbeing.

The flowers, they grow on your ten little toes
With forefinger and thumb, gently caress and massage each toe
All the way up to your little nose
Gently draw finger down the length of child’s nose
The petals, they softly brush your cheek
Gently brush each cheek with back of your hand
As you lay down and fall fast asleep
Gently run fingers along child’s brow

Song

Here is the Beehive

Here is the beehive
Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees
Watch and you’ll see them
Come out of the hive
One, two, three, four, five

They buzz so high
They buzz so low
Thye buzz so fast
And they buzz so slow

They buzz. to the left
And they buzz to the right

They buzz all the day long
And go to sleep at night
