A World of Play

In a world of colors bright,
Let’s go outside and play with delight!
Jump like a frog, hop like a hare,
Spin in circles, dance in the air!

With friends by your side, oh what fun,
Chasing butterflies, running in the sun.
Building castles, digging in the sand,
Every little game is simply grand!

So grab your toys, let’s laugh and cheer,
Playing together brings us all near.
Just like the caterpillar, we’ll wiggle and sway,
In the wonderful world of play, hooray!
