I’m a Little Sea Star Song (Tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little sea star under the sea.
Looking for clams and mussels to eat.
When I find a shell that is just right,
I wrap my feet and hold down tight!

One swam too far and then there were three.
Three little starfish in the ocean blue,
One went on a seahorse ride and then there were two.
Two little starfish bathIng in the sun,
One washed out to sea and then there was one.
