Extension?

• Use scarves, big blankets, ribbons or light materials that can fall gently from the sky to mimic the falling rain
• Toddlers: Can they try to create raindrops with their twinkling fingers? Can they stretch up high and slowly fall down to the ground?
• You can hum or whisper this song after singing it 2-3 times to complete a very calming experience.

Lyrics:

Rain is falling down.

Rain is falling down.

Pitter patter, pitter patter,

Rain is falling down.
