Snow Birds
Spring is Here
A little ditty based on a military marching and perseverance cadence. We sing this song to remind each other that we started together and will end together. I like to sing this song when things begin, when things are silly, fun and difficult. Be sure to sing when things are good and then it has more associations when things are more challenging.

Tell Me a Tale
A simple song about having conversations. Written for an autistic family member, about sharing tales, truths, sharing experience, riddles, jokes, and hopes. This song emphasizes listening and sharing as reciprocal communication. Once this song is "installed" as a GuideNote, we can use this song to give a non-verbal cue to listen and tell and tell and listen, or even to share our words. Pairs well with "Show and tell means listen and share" song.

Thank You Bees!
Thank You Bees for the Honey!
A simple song written for a bee-keeping family when I encountered at a local park. This is a gratitude song for the bees who helped to make the apple, the pear and the honey to feed the big brown bear. We like to make the buzzy sound and flap our wings when we sing the busy busy bees part.
Coming Soon!
Thank You Bees for the Honey!
Three Little Bunnies Ready For Bed
This little song is a favorite of Frolic the Fox's friends. A counting and math song, where three bunnies are ready for bed but they want to jump in stead. Can use with other actions like spin, wiggle, shake, etc. We start with three bunnies ready for bed and count down while the bunnies on the bed go up to three.
