We’re Digging a Pond

About this song

Diggy the badger arrives in a little yellow digger to help Lilly dig a pond. Paws are too slow and a spade is too slow, so the digger gets to work: soil up, soil down. But why dig a pond at all? For the frogs, the bees, the robins and the dragonflies. Then it’s rainwater time, and everyone waits for the very first frog to arrive.

There is no “ribbit” in this song, because British frogs don’t say ribbit. They croak. Every line is true, right down to filling the pond with rainwater.

What it teaches: Wildlife and why gardens need water, animal sounds that are really true, patience, scooping and pouring actions
