SONG LYRICS
Song 1
Grab your chalk and marker,
And let’s go!
Use your imagination,
And let the art flow!
Song 2
Express yourself,
Create and play!
Make it silly or smart,
You can do it your way.
Draw a line,
Up and down.
Make it square,
Make it round.
Shapes and colours
are everywhere!
Song 3
Pictures are made,
With colours and shapes -
Red, green and blue.
Come on, let’s make,
Circles and squares,
Rectangles, too.
It’s fun to draw;
Yes, it’s fun to do.
