Hawkins Hollow Nursery Rhymes
Seed Filled Footstep Chart at Dahl Seed Room
Each friend gives one sound, and the answer is a different movement: tap with sway, ting with open hands, hush with a slow circle. Baby Bentley participates only by safely listening, looking, wiggling, vocalizing, or resting.
Rhyme
Alice made one wooden tok.
Callen answered with a slow hand rock.
Callen made one metal ting.
Aralynn opened hands like a wing.
Aralynn brushed one cloth: shh.
Alice drew a circle, slow as can be.
Baby Bentley listened, safe and near.
The slow round hand kept time clear.
Three views watched one seed-room place.
Only the chart moved through the space.
Sprinkle touched wood: tok once more.
One drop touched metal by the door.
Cloth gave shh in barely moving air.
Three unlike sounds met gently there.
No indoor room could make that same three.
Baby Bentley looked. The sounds stayed free.
