This Little Train"},"content":{"rendered":"

Three years ago, I created a pattern for a set of train cars<\/a> that I have used over and over ever since. Last year, I learned a new-to-me song<\/a> in a Cen Campbell webinar that goes great with these pieces, too. <\/p>\n

Now I’ve learned ANOTHER new song from Flannel Friday! Lucy at In the Children’s Room posted about adapting a song<\/a> called “This Little Train.” The post is a couple years old, but thanks to the magic of the Flannel Friday Pinterest board<\/a> pinners, I found it when I needed it!<\/p>\n

I wanted to adapt it, in turn, to match my own train cars.<\/p>\n

So here’s what I came up with! It’s to the tune of “This Old Man.” <\/p>\n

This little train, painted gray
\nTakes us places far away
\nWith a choo, choo, clicky-clack, hear the whistle blow
\nThis little train goes rolling home<\/p>\n

This little train, painted black
\nKeeps us chugging down the track
\nWith a choo, choo, clicky-clack, hear the whistle blow
\nThis little train goes rolling home<\/p>\n

This little train, painted white
\nKeeps things cold both day and night
\nWith a choo, choo, clicky-clack, hear the whistle blow
\nThis little train goes rolling home<\/p>\n

This little train, painted blue
\nIt has seats for me and you
\nWith a choo, choo, clicky-clack, hear the whistle blow
\nThis little train goes rolling home<\/p>\n

This little train, painted red
\nIs where the engineer goes to bed
\nWith a choo, choo, clicky-clack, hear the whistle blow
\nThis little train goes rolling home<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you can write a verse for the green car, I am all ears. <\/p>\n

The only thing I could come up with was, <\/p>\n
