There’s something in the snow, now what can it be?

Song: Polar Bear Action Song by Rachel Rambach
Polar bear, polar bear
Big and strong with snow white hair
Polar bear, polar bear
Watch him move from here to there
Swimming, swimming, swimming in the icy sea
Swimming much faster than you and me
Swimming til he stops and takes a rest
Then swims some more from east to west
Polar bear, polar bear
Lives in freezing arctic air
Polar bear, polar bear
Watch him move from here to there
Swimming, swimming, swimming in the icy sea
Swimming much faster than you and me
Swimming til he stops and takes a rest
Then swims some more from east to west
Polar bear, polar bear
Walks on ice, it’s everywhere
Polar bear, polar bear
Now he’ll stop and sleep right there
Shaker Song: The Walrus Washes His Winter Coat
Oh, the walrus washes his winter coat
down by the wavy ocean.
He adds some water and he adds some soap
and he waits…and he waits…and he waits.
Then the laundry shakes, shakes, shakes
The laundry shakes and shakes and shakes
The laundry shakes, shakes, shakes until it’s clean.
The laundry shakes, shakes, shakes
The laundry shakes and shakes and shakes
The laundry shakes, shakes, shakes
until it’s clean.
The laundry spins, spins, spin . . .
