This cutie-patootie popsicle girl is used with the Jodi Koplin song, “Popsicle,” from her album Jumpin’ Bean, and was inspired by the brilliant librarian at Storytiming, who generously provided her template for her popsicle boy. Somehow I had a vision of a girl with adorable Afro puffs so he was transformed.
When I’ve used this, I sing instead of using the recording, so I could repeat for each of the different flavors. The official song only does lime, grape, and rainbow, and includes an additional bridge that I left out. I did the first verse as a setup, then only repeated the second part for each flavor.
Flannel Song: I’m Eating a Popsicle
In the summer when it’s really hot,
I want something that will hit the spot
Well it’s not a pickle & I’m not very fickle
All I want is an ice cold popsicle!
I’m eating a grape popsicle,
I’m eating a grape popsicle
Slurp, slurp, slurp, (slurp, slurp, slurp)
Yum, yum, yum (yum, yum, yum)
Now stick out your tongue: egh, egh, egh
Stick out your tongue: egh, egh, egh
What color is your tongue when you’re done?
(repeat with: lime, cherry, orange, lemon, blueberry, rainbow)
