Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Mirror Welcome Tile
Song promise: The group will make and erase a temporary route, stop before disturbing a living shelter, and preserve both memories on the tile without declaring one false.
The part everyone joins: “Draw it, clear it, keep both sides.”
Lyrics
The Tile Remembers Two Ways
The welcome tile gives one low silver tone.
Lex sees the route bend toward the river.
Zylar sees the same turn aim toward the porch.
Callen keeps both faces open.
Bentley listens from steady support.
No memory has to push the other away.
Circle Once
They circle riverside sandbar exactly once.
Lex and Zylar choose opposite sides of the curve.
Callen keeps the return point clear.
Bentley travels fully supported by a trusted grown-up on a prepared path.
Footprints mark the soft surface.
Behind the group, each finished section is gently brushed clear.
Cross in Pairs
At pumpkin corner, Lex crosses with Callen.
Zylar crosses beside Bentley and the supporting grown-up on a separate safe lane.
Each pair leaves a short visible section.
Each completed section is erased behind them.
Draw it, clear it, keep both sides.
The Living Shelter
Near the final curve, Callen notices a small leaf shelter.
The quickest ending would cross its edge.
Lex stops the next step.
Zylar leaves the last path section undone.
Bentley remains comfortably supported away from the shelter and moving feet.
One full measure stays quiet.
The pause becomes the visible gap that protects the shelter.
Changed Carlisle Rain Porch
They return to Carlisle rain porch.
No footprint trail remains behind them.
The final path gap remains unfilled.
Callen sets the tile open on a stable surface.
One face holds Lex’s riverward curve.
The other holds Zylar’s porchward curve.
Both memories remain visible.
The leaf shelter remains undisturbed.
About This Song
Age lane: S5 — Mixed-Age Family Songs.
Theme: Daily Routines through using evidence without losing imagination.
Energy: Mist-lifting discovery, calm retrying, and a quiet two-memory finish.
Estimated duration: Approximately 4 minutes 24 seconds.
Participation: One circle, paired crossing, temporary footpath drawing and erasing, object-led sound play, a protective pause, and newborn-safe sensory listening.
Cast: Lex, Callen Crow, Baby Bentley, and Zylar. Bentley remains fully supported by an approved trusted grown-up. Lillian was considered, but the supplied cast already provides two route memories, one careful path clearer, and one newborn sensory role without crowding the paired crossing.
Ways to Join In
- Route drawing: Participants may walk, roll, trace, point, or move large route cards. Erase only completed sections behind the group.
- Paired crossing: Use two separate prepared lanes. Bentley remains fully supported by a trusted grown-up and does not carry, trace, erase, or signal.
- Bentley’s participation: Keep it sensory and baby-sized: supported listening, stable head and neck support, comfortable distance from feet and props, and no required gaze, reach, smile, sound, or gesture.
- Pause: Hold one full quiet measure when the shelter is noticed. The unfinished gap is participation, not a missed task.
- Safety: A second trusted grown-up manages route clearing when needed so Bentley’s caregiver can give full attention to support.
