Tiny Tim’s Outdoor Adventure

Another day, Tiny Tim went outside. He lived in a little box and loved to swim through puddles and climb rocks. Tiny Tim was very brave!

He saw a mosquito, a flea, and a minnow. He tried to snap at them with his little mouth. Snap, snap, snap! But guess what? He caught the mosquito, the flea, and the minnow, but he couldn’t catch me!

Tiny Tim had so many adventures! He loved to swim and explore. Remember, even if he drank all the water or snapped at little creatures, he was just having fun. Tiny Tim is a happy little turtle, and he loves to play!

Do you have a favorite animal that you like to pretend to be? Maybe you can make up a fun song about them too!

  1. What do you think Tiny Tim felt when he went on his bathtub adventure? Have you ever had a funny or silly adventure like Tiny Tim?
  2. If you could go on an adventure like Tiny Tim, where would you go and what would you do? Would you explore a new place or pretend to be an animal?
  3. Tiny Tim loves to play and explore. What are some of your favorite things to do when you play? Do you like to pretend to be animals or make up songs like Tiny Tim?
  1. Bubble Experiment: Let’s explore bubbles just like Tiny Tim! Fill a small container with water and add a few drops of dish soap. Use a straw to blow gently into the water and watch the bubbles form. Can you make a big bubble? What happens if you blow too hard or too softly? Try to pop the bubbles with your finger and see how it feels. Talk about what you observe with your friends or family.

  2. Turtle Adventure Role Play: Pretend to be Tiny Tim and go on your own adventure! Use a small box as your turtle shell and crawl around the room. Imagine you are swimming in a bathtub or climbing rocks outside. What other animals might you meet on your adventure? Can you make up a story about your journey and share it with the class?

  3. Nature Walk Observation: Go on a nature walk with a grown-up and look for small creatures like Tiny Tim might see. Can you find a puddle, a rock, or maybe even a little insect? Draw a picture of what you find and share it with your classmates. How do you think Tiny Tim would interact with these things?

**Rock ‘N Learn**

I had a little turtle,
His name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim.

He drank up all the water,
He ate a bar of soap,
And now he’s in his bed
With bubbles in his throat.

Bubble, bubble, bubble…
Bubble, bubble, bubble.
Bubble, bubble, bubble…
Bubble, bubble, POP!

Bubble, bubble, bubble…
Bubble, bubble, bubble.
Bubble, bubble, bubble…
Bubble, bubble, POP!

I had a little turtle,
I kept him in a box.
He swam through the puddles,
He climbed up on the rocks.

He snapped at a mosquito,
He snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow,
And he snapped at me.

He caught the mosquito,
He caught the flea,
He caught the minnow,
But he didn’t catch me.

Snap, snap, snap…
Snap, snap, snap.
Snap, snap, snap…
Snap, snap, you can’t catch me!
