The' Little Whit Duck' is an old classic children's folk song that I still sing today with preschool and toddler children in my classroom. It was recorded first by Burl Ives back in the late 1940's early 1950"s “Little White Duck” I sing with preschool and toddler children.


Duck/Pond/Water musical play sensory bin!
This bin is perfect for “The Little White Duck', or any pond life theme. Of course, I don’t think you can find a white plastic duck; however, I would change it up by singing “A little yellow duck" sitting in the water. You will also need a plastic frog, snake, and bug. Cut lily pad shapes out of foam trays colored green with crayons or permanent green markers. Add plastic greens, sticks, and stones to the water.

Sequencing activity
Cut out a pond shape from blue or green construction paper. Cut out pictures or drawings of a white duck, green frog, black bug, and red snake. Have children place each in the “water’ as they appear in the song.


Little White Duck Lyrics

There's a little white duck sitting in the water
A little white duck, doing what he oughter
He took a bite of a lily pad
Flapped his wings and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little white duck sitting in the water
“Quack, Quack, Quack."

There's a little green frog swimming in the water.
A little green frog, doing what he oughter
He jumped right off of the lily pad
That the little duck bit, and he said,
"I'm glad I'm a little green frog swimming in the water
“Glump" Glump." Glump"

There's a little black bug floating on the water
A little black bug doing what he oughter
He tickled the frog on the lily pad
That the little duck bit, and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little black bug floating in the water
“Chirp. Chirp, chirp”.

There's a little red snake playing in the water
A little red snake doing what he oughter
He frightened the duck and the frog so bad
He ate the little bug, and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little red snake playing in the water."
“SSSSS’ “SSSSS” ‘SSSSSSS”

Now, there's nobody left sitting in the water
Nobody left doing what they oughter
There's nothing left but the lily pad
The duck and the frog ran away; it’s sad
That there's nobody left sitting in the water,
Boo! Hoo, Hoo...
