I have very similar animal puppets – in fact, I’m pretty sure I have the same alligator. So cute, Rachel! I always look forward to your blog posts – you are so creative. I can get away with a gratuitous picture of my dog because this post is animal-related, right? Ha! I’m curious: how do you get musical with puppets and animals? I’m looking for more ways to incorporate them, just because they are always such a hit. My students get such a kick out of making their puppet “sing” when it’s his or her turn during the song…but probably not as the kick my pup Sadie got out of Mr.
Here’s my animal puppet version of “In the Jungle” - which can easily be adapted to include any puppets or stuffed animals you have lying around! That’s when I got the idea to combine all of those different environments into 1 song, using one of my personal favorites as a template. See what I mean when I said eclectic? They all live in different environments, so I couldn’t do a “forest” or “jungle” song…or could I? Here they are in their little drawer: a lamb, parrot, rabbit, bear, mouse, and alligator. (I owe my family members big time for helping me grow my music therapy instrument and prop collection when I first started my career!) They are quite an eclectic bunch (the puppets, not my family members) and don’t have a whole lot in common, so I’ve struggled in the past with coming up for good uses with them. Alligator here is part of a set of animal puppets I received as a Christmas present a few years ago.
