\n
\nWe will make a weather book with snow on the front,
\nfrost and rain inside, sunshine on the back.
\nWe will make a cotton wool and toilet roll snowman,
\nSing Incy Wincy Spider in January.<\/p>\n

We will make toilet roll birds with flappy wings.
\nTeddy bears’ pancake day, Biscuits with sprinkles.
\nNO CRAFT on the day that it snows.
\nSing the wheels on the bus in February.<\/p>\n

We will make paper cup faces with cress hair,
\nMothering Sunday cards with doilies and daffs,
\nyoghurt pots with chickens and straws.
\nSing two little birds in March.<\/p>\n

We will make paper blossom on branches with eggs,
\nEaster Cards with fluffy chicks,
\na house and garden from catalogue cut-outs.
\nSing Hickory Dickory Dock in April<\/p>\n

We will make butterflies out of all-coloured scraps,
\nrainbow streamers for ABINGDON ALIVE,
\nsmiley face plates saying LETS BE FRIENDS.
\nSing What a friend we have in May.<\/p>\n

We will make round and round the garden on a plate
\nwith Teddy Bears on split pins,
\nfishes from gold and silver milk bottle tops.
\nSing two little rabbits in June.<\/p>\n

We will make a clock face with moving hands,
\nsandcastle, spade, bucket, boat with sails.
\nAt Teatime Praise on the lawn
\nsing the wise man built his house in July<\/p>\n

We will make Mr Men shapes: round – happy, noisy, and clever;
\noval – nosey and bumpy; square – strong and grumpy.
\nWe will put felt vegetables in a basket for harvest.
\nSing Old McDonald had a farm in September.<\/p>\n

We will make roundabouts with horses on card,
\nsquirrels with a big pile of nuts in October.
\nWe will make a night sky – black paper, shiny stars,
\nfireworks and rockets that whoosh in November.<\/p>\n

We will make a doily angel and baby Jesus
\nand Mary and Joseph from playdough.
\nEverybody will have a part this year.
\nSing The Calypso Carol in December.
