A few slight changes, such as “I am a butterfly” for first line, will fit
the song to be sung by one child instead of several. The suitable changes
will suggest themselves to mother or teacher. A butterfly-look may be
given to the little ones by wings of tissue paper fastened between the
shoulders, or even by broad bows of wide, gay-colored ribbon.
[Illustration: Children enter singing and circle about a table of
flowers.]
We airy Butterflies
We come in sunny hours,
We fairy Butterflies
We come when come the flowers.
We dainty Butterflies
We feed on honey new
At every opening flower,
And drink of morning dew.

Children meet, touch hands, then “float” airily away.
