Firework
To the tune of “Im a
Little Teapot”
I'm a
little firework
Up in the sky.
I
dance and I shimmer
Way up, up high.
Sometimes
I'm red.
Sometimes
I'm blue.
But I
always sparkle
Just for you.
I'm a
little firework
Up in the sky.
I
dance and I shimmer
Way up, up high

*Stallone Tested and Approved: Fun, fun, fun summer activity! What great activity to do in the pool too, next time for us! LOL Stallone loved guessing if the objects were going to float or going to sink, and oh yes..learning the "opposite" of float is to sink! Great new concept! We also had a great time at the end, as Mommy tested him to see if he could remember what items floated and what items sunk. He did well, only missing two! I'm a very proud Mommy! Loved this activity!
