Thumbelina roleplay game

Since Thumbelina has become our favourite tale of this spring and my little daughter keeps searching for Thumbelina in every tulip she sees, I prepared all necessary things to make the fairy tale come to life.
She planted the seed and she watered it generously. We sang a song:
Mighty pretty motion, too-da-la, too-da-la
Rise, shugar, rise!
And then she was born herself - emerging from a red sack - you're my little Thumbelina! -I exclaimed.
There was a little girl with a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good, she was verry verry good,
But when she was bed she was horrid.

A basin made her a bed (nutshel in original) in which she was stollen away from her house by an ugly toad.
Lulaby was sang:
The sandman comes, the sandman comes
He brings such pretty snow-white sand
For every child throughout the land
The sandman comes, the sandman comes.

She escapes from the toad - a green hammock served a good lily pad to travel on.
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream
Merrilly, merrilly, merrilly, merrilly - life is but a dream!

Cockchafer's flight - jumping from a plank to plank she enjoyed so much that did it three times to and fro. With a song:
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,
Jack jump over a candlestick.

Winter in a mouse's house doing her job - she crawled under the tennis table to sort out mosaic nails by colours. The song was:
See seaw, Thumbelina,
Jenny shall have a new master
She shall have but a penny a day
Because she can't work any faster.

Mole's tunnel - she crawled through a tent
Swallow flight - I only showed her how to make a swallow balancing on a little chair on my tummy - she climbed up on my back! Great! It was a real swallow ride :)
Then we sing in a round dance a marriage song for Thumbelina and herprince:
Lavender blue, dilly dilly, lavender green
When I am a king, dilly dilly, you'll be my queen.
Some to make hay, dilly dilly, some to cut corn,
While you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm.
