Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
Spring
Adapted from http://www.preschoolexpress.com/music_station04/music_station2_may04.shtml
Tune: Turkey in the Straw
Sun in the blue sky, shine shine shine
Sun in the blue sky, shine shine shine
Sun in the blue sky, shine shine shine
Help me with my garden.
Rain in the gray clouds, drip drop drip
Rain in the gray clouds, drip drop drip
Rain in the gray clouds, drip drop drip
Help me with my garden
Seeds in the brown dirt, grow grow grow
Seeds in the brown dirt, grow grow grow
Seeds in the brown dirt, grow grow grow
Thank you for my garden.
Tulips

Tune: Six Little Ducks
Three little tulips I once grew,
A white one,
a pink one,
a red one too.
One little tulip grew, grew, grew.
It grew taller than the other two,
The other two,
the other two.
It grew taller than the other two!
Flowers Everywhere

Tune: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Flowers, flowers everywhere,
In the garden,in my hair.
In the vase, at the store,
On the table, on the door.
What a lovely time of year,
Flowers blooming, bringing cheer.
Mr. Sun

Tune: Mr. Sun
Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Hiding behind a tree
These little children are asking you
To please come out so we can play with you.
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Please shine down on, please shine down on,
Please shine down on me.
Kites Up In the Sky

Tune: Farmer in the Dell
The kites up in the sky,
Flying, oh, so, high.
They twirl around,
Then, fall down.
The kites up in the sky.

Ending songs:
Elevator Song
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand <em>
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
Peek a Boo
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo I see you!
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo I see you!
Peek-a-boo peek-a-boo

Peek-a-boo!
Where is Baby? …. Peekaboo
