Once upon a time, there was a special hole in the ground. It was the prettiest hole you ever did see! And guess what? There was green grass growing all around it. Can you imagine that? The green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around!
Inside that hole, there was a tree. It was the prettiest tree you ever did see! The tree stood tall in the hole, and the hole was in the ground. And yes, the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around!
On that tree, there was a limb. It was the prettiest limb you ever did see! The limb was on the tree, the tree was in the hole, and the hole was in the ground. And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around!
On that limb, there was a branch. It was the prettiest branch you ever did see! The branch was on the limb, the limb was on the tree, the tree was in the hole, and the hole was in the ground. And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around!
On that branch, there was a nest. It was the prettiest nest you ever did see! The nest was on the branch, the branch was on the limb, the limb was on the tree, the tree was in the hole, and the hole was in the ground. And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around!
Inside that nest, there was an egg. It was the prettiest egg you ever did see! The egg was in the nest, the nest was on the branch, the branch was on the limb, the limb was on the tree, the tree was in the hole, and the hole was in the ground. And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around!
And inside that egg, there was a bird. It was the prettiest bird you ever did see! The bird was in the egg, the egg was in the nest, the nest was on the branch, the branch was on the limb, the limb was on the tree, the tree was in the hole, and the hole was in the ground. And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around!
Isn’t it amazing how so many things can be connected in nature? From the hole in the ground to the bird in the egg, everything has its special place. Next time you go outside, see if you can find a tree, a branch, or maybe even a nest! Nature is full of surprises and beauty, just like our magical story!
Nature Walk Exploration: Take a walk outside with an adult and try to find a tree. Look closely to see if you can find any branches, leaves, or maybe even a nest! Draw a picture of what you see and share it with your class. Can you find something that wasn’t mentioned in the story, like a flower or a bug?
Build a Nature Tower: Collect small sticks, leaves, and stones from your backyard or a park. Try to build a tower by stacking them on top of each other, just like the story builds from the hole to the bird. How tall can you make your tower? What happens if you add a leaf or a small stone on top?
Story Sequence Game: With a friend or family member, retell the story using hand motions. Start by making a circle with your hands for the hole, then pretend to grow a tree, and keep adding motions for each part of the story. Can you remember all the parts in the right order? Try making up your own ending to the story!
