Welcome to the homepage of Broadview ELDC! We are so excited to share with you what’s happening this month in music.

We will play clatterpillars (instruments that look like striped caterpillars that clatter as they move), cricket guiros, a seed rattle, and a log drum. We will play with all kinds of puppets as we move like the bugs do and sing some new and familiar songs.

Butterfly Cycle (to the tune of Up on the Housetop)

First comes the butterfly and lays some eggs,

Out comes a catterpillar with many legs.

Oh, see that catterpillar spin and spin.

A little chrysalis to sleep in.

Oh, oh, oh, wait and see.

Oh, oh, oh, wait and see.

Out of the chrysalis, my oh my,

Comes a beautiful butterfly!
