Come little ones, let's have some fun,
We'll use our tongues and get things done.
With a tint of pink or blue or green,
Let's make a rainbow, oh, what a scene!

Now grab a template, trace it well,
Use a pencil or a marker, can you tell?
A survey of shapes, a world of fun,
Square or circle, which one's the one?

Down in the swale, we'll run and play,
Jump over puddles, all through the day.
But watch out for a trap or two,
They might catch you, it's not so cool.

Let's taper the edges, make them smooth,
A little thinner, we'll improve.
We'll add a title, make it bold,
Our masterpiece, we'll soon behold.

Now let's hang it up, with a transom on top,
Our art on display, it won't ever stop.
We'll tape it up, just right it seems,
Crossing the threshold, our dreams come true, it beams!

Reflections

1. How did the children feel when they first discovered the secret garden?
2. What magical things did the children find in the garden?
3. What challenges did the children face on their adventure, and how did they overcome them?
4. How did the children's friendship grow stronger throughout the story?
5. If you could visit the secret garden, what would you want to do or see there?
