Did you know... The phrase “April Showers Bring May Flowers” goes all the way back to the mid 16th century. A poet and farmer named Thomas Tusser wrote the book A Hundred Good Points of Husbandry and in the April Section, the following poem was written: Sweet April showers do Spring May flowers. Here is a darling song about the rain to sing with little ones: April Showers Song (to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”) Pitter patter rain drops (wiggle fingers to imitate rain) Falling from the sky(wiggle fingers downward) Here’s my umbrella (action of opening an umbrella) Hold it high! (hands over head) When the rain is over (bring hands down slowly) and the sun begins to glow (make sun with arms) Little flowers start to bud (Kneel down) then grow, grow, grow!!! (slowly stand up)
