Yellow Daffodils

One of the first and most-anticipated welcoming signs of spring is the appearance of daffodils. Bright, sunny, yellow, happy flowers, daffodils just make us feel good. They are also one of the most recognizable flowers, even for little children. They have a distinctive shape that includes a long, trumpet-shaped center. Seeing a single daffodil in a vase is as delightful as seeing masses of them outside in the late winter/early spring. (Be mindful though. Daffodils are for looking only. They are toxic if ingested.)

Written especially for your very youngest singers, this sweet little tune gives you a wonderful opportunity to create one of those "awww" moments in any spring performance. It would certainly be easy enough to sing along with our recording, but you could also play it live on a piano or keyboard. If singing two verses is a bit too much for your singers, just have them repeat the first verse. Trust us, no one in your audience will care.

If you could have at least a few daffodils for props, that would be a nice touch. Even fake ones are okay.
