Book: Arty!: The Greatest Artist in the World by William Bee
Action Song: “This Is the Way We Stir the Paint”
This is the way we stir the paint,
Stir the paint, stir the paint,
This is the way we stir the paint
So early in the morning.
Additional verses:
Dip our brush
Splatter the paint
Paint a circle
Paint a square
Paint a triangle
Clean our brush

Song: “Art Supply Song” (Tune: “The Wheels On the Bus”)
The paintbrush on the paper goes swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
The paintbrush on the paper goes swish, swish, swish
All day long.
Additional verses:
Pencil/skritch, scratch, skritch
Crayon/scribble
Scissors/snip
Play-dough on the table/squish

Song: “Paint with Me” (Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)
Grab your brush and paint with me.
Paint a flower, paint a tree.
Paint it fast and paint it slow.
Paint it high, then paint it low.
Paint in zig-zags, circles, too.
How I love to paint with you!
