Dinosaur Song for Preschool Kids

The dinosaur song is our new family project. I have written this song to make my English lesson with preschoolers more interesting and engaging. The mysterious world of dinosaurs is always fascinating for kids! It is fun to have an imaginary travel with children to prehistoric times when those huge and awesome creatures populated the Earth. Children can learn many things about our planet, nature and animals. So let’s get our time machine together and visit a cute stegosaurus family that lived during the Jurassic period some 150 millions years ago.

This song is very simple and perfectly adapted for young English learners from 2 to 5 years old. Our son who is 3,5 years old is very fond of dinosaurs and he loved this song very much. That’s why we decided to perform it together. I think making such family project encourages kids to learn more about our world and to master the language with the help of music, singing and dramatizing interesting stories.


The animation was created by my husband. Our family friend – artist Igor Lukyanov – helped us create some cute illustrations of the main characters for this song video.

Here are the Dinosaur Song lyrics:

Butterfly Song (+ Coloring Pages and Worksheets)

It's springtime. It's time of flowers and butterflies. And it's also time to learn some spring vocabulary during English lessons with kids. I wrote a very simple song about butterflies a year ago which I used to teach English to preschoolers in spring. So I would like to share this butterfly song and some printable activities with other educators and parents who teach their own children at home.

Butterfly Song


Down the valley,
In the meadow
I saw pretty butterflies,
They were flying in the air
They were flying very high.

On the flowers
Up the trees,
In the gentle morning breeze,
Butterflies, you’re so cute,
I would like to fly with you.

I have prepared a few coloring pages and worksheets to go with this song. They are rather simple and can be used for preschool and kindergarten activities.
