Little Mother Goose

III.

(Mother sings.)

These pretty, singing red-breasts

Are trustful little dears;

They come and build their dwellings

By ours, and feel no fears.—O, hark!

(Children sing robin refrain.)

Nest Weaving.—Children, while marching, press the tips of the eight fingers together, then separate them with a downward circular movement, and bring them together again. The action is then reversed and repeated.

March with hops, stops, sudden starts and runs and tippings of the head.

Child leaves other robins with soaring lift of arms; then drooping hovering movements of hands.

March with robin steps—hops and runs—to seats.
