Giggles in the Garden
In a corner where the daisies grow,
Tiny feet skip, faces all aglow.
Little hands dig, the dirt flies high,
Finding worms that wiggle, oh my!
Butterflies dance on a gentle breeze,
Kids chase with laughter through the trees.
Up above, in branches way up high,
Birdies sing their songs to the sky.
Leaves of green, and petals bright,
Sunshine bathes the garden in light.
Mud pies and giggles, joyful shouts—
"Look what I found!" a little voice touts.
Round and round, a merry-go-round of blooms,
Roses and tulips fill the rooms.
In this garden, where young hearts play,
We celebrate Earth, on her special day.

Muddy Boots and Daisy Roots
Muddy boots by the garden gate,
Little explorers can hardly wait!
Armed with shovels, pails, and giggly cheers,
Planting daisies, facing nature without fears.
Tiny hands in the soft, cool earth,
Digging holes, discovering dirt’s worth.
With every scoop and every pat,
They plant a seed, wearing sun hats.
Around them, robins chirp in play,
Bees buzz by, in flowers they sway.
Children learn as roots take hold,
Secrets of the earth, bold and old.
Muddy faces, smiles wide,
Looking at the flowers with pride.
Together they’ve toiled, under the sun,
Through soil and worms, oh what fun!
As the sun sets, they look around,
In their garden, beauty is found.
With daisy roots and boots stained brown,
They’ve brought life up from the ground.

Recycling Rascals
Meet the Rascals, a cheeky bunch,
Lunchtime comes, they munch and crunch.
But oh, what mess they used to make,
Till recycling they did undertake!
Soda cans and plastic cups,
"Let’s sort these out," they chant and jump.
Paper here and glass goes there,
Clean and green, with time to spare!
Bottles clink in a rhythmic dance,
Joining in, the Rascals prance.
Learning fast, they sort and stack,
In their bins, there's no turning back.
Laughing loud, they see their pile,
Recycling's done with flair and style.
"Now we know," they shout with glee,
"To care for Earth is key, you see!"
