Super Silly Tree Animal song for Tu B’shevat with Kids

This silly Tree Animals song for kids was born out of spontaneous play. 

My toddlers probably should get credit for this Tu Bishvat tune which works great in preschool, religious school, and caregiver/child music classes.

I like to use puppets (since I have them handy) but you can use any type of visual prop- you can use the cards I made (we also use them to play memory and matching games, too).

I accidentally learned a LOT about tree animals as I prepared this post- fascinating stuff, too!

Read about Animals That Live in Trees (and how they’ve adapted to survive) – especially if you have trouble identifying some of the animals in the free printable prop (TBH, I didn’t know about the tree dwelling kangaroo or porcupine). Scroll to see lyrics!
