The Butterfly Song (If I Were a Butterfly) Netscape Users Internet Explorer Users PLAY SONG This is a great song PLUS series of crafts to do over a few weeks at Sunday school or... Have the different classes do a different craft and put them all on popsicle sticks to make puppets). Then get together or in front of the congregation and sing the song (have all the children hide their puppets behind their back). Pull out the puppets and wave them around during the various parts of the song. I'd like to add my special thanks to the folks at the www.butterflysong.com website for pointing out a few words I had wrong and for graciously allowing us to keep the content on the site. They have the sheet music, a Christian Children's Songbook and the CD for sale on their site so make sure to check out their on-line store, there are lots of other great songs like this one available on the CD..
