Inchworm Measuring the Marigolds re-post

In the movie Hans Christian Anderson the title character sings the song, Inchworm.  It is a great song.  The words are below the drawing.  This picture celebrates Easter, spring, and the rebirth represented by flowers.   Remember that the resurrection of Jesus was a rebirth and baptism by immersion also represents death of the wicked person and rebirth of the righteous person.

This is a re-posting of a previous post.   This drawing will now be on the buttons that say "All Printables" finally.    I was visiting family in Wyoming.   This has taken a while to post the printable version because I accidentally left the drawing in Wyoming and I just got it back.   You can now also print it from  from the "Animals" button.  

Marigolds and Inchworm

Can you spot the inchworm?  

The inchworm is also called the span worm or measuring worm.  It is not a worm at all  It is a caterpillar of a moth.  .  .  the Geometer Moth.  An inchworm is a caterpillar that has legs only at the front and back of its body.  When it walks it arches its back as it slides its back legs up to the front legs.  This makes the inchworm look like it is taking a measurement.   Hence the name "inchworm".  

This type of caterpillar will eventually spin a cocoon and go through metamorphosis to emerge as the Geometer Moth.

NOTE:  As I wrote before, this song is from the 1952 movie Hans Christian Andersen.   This is the same movie where the song The Ugly Duckling comes from.   I again want to highly recommend this movie to you.  By the way, when I taught first grade and kindergarten I sang this song with my students during Math.  Later with older kids I had them keep the numbers going:  2 and 2 are 4....
4 and 4 are 8....8 and 8 are 16.... 16 and 16 are 32.....and to go on beyond the song.....
32 and 32 are 64......64 and 64 are 128.....128 and 128 are 256.....256 and 256 are 512....
512 and 512 are 1024.......1024 and 1024 are 2048......and so on....

             Inchworm

A song from the movie Hans Christian Anderson

    These are the complete lyrics. . . Previously I only posted part of the lyrics.  

Two and two are four

Four and four are eight

Eight and eight are sixteen

Sixteen and sixteen are thirty two

Two and two are four

Four and four are eight

Eight and eight are sixteen

Sixteen and sixteen are thirty two

Inchworm, inchworm

Measuring the marigolds

You and your arithmetic

You'll probably go far

Inchworm, inchworm

Measuring the marigolds

Seems to me you'd stop and see

How beautiful they are

Two and two are four

Four and four are eight

Eight and eight are sixteen

Sixteen and sixteen are thirty two

Two and two are four

Four and four are eight

Eight and eight are sixteen

Sixteen and sixteen are thirty two

Inchworm, inchworm

Measuring the marigolds

You and your arithmetic

You'll probably go far

Inchworm, inchworm

Measuring the marigolds

Seems to me you'd stop and see

How beautiful they are

Inchworm, inchworm

Measuring the marigolds

You and your arithmetic

You'll probably go far

Inchworm, inchworm

Measuring the marigolds

Seems to me you'd stop and see

How beautiful they are

Two and two are four

Four and four are eight

Seems to me you'd stop and see

How beautiful they are

Seems to me you'd stop and see

How beautiful you are
