This craft was originally requested by "Wendy" for Martin Luther King week.  You could also use it for Easter, Biblical studies or no particular reason at all!

Rita sent in a song to go with the craft.  If you don't make the toilet paper roll craft, you can use your hands instead.  I think it's a WONDERFUL idea!!

Two little birds sat on a hill
(hold the two birds close to yourself and bob them up and down)

One named Jack
One named Jack
(bob one of the birds up and down)
One named Jill
(bob the other bird up and down)

Fly away Jack
Fly away Jack
(move the "Jack" bird to the side and make it look like it's flying)

Fly away Jill
Fly away Jill
(move the "Jill" bird to the other side, making Jill look like she's flying)

Come back Jack
Come back Jack
(bring "Jack" back close to your body)

Come back Jill
Come back Jill
(bring "Jill" back close to your body)
