Simply collect things that coordinate with the lyrics of the first verse, that can actually appeal to their senses, and let them experience it as they sing:
1) "Song of a Bird" Bird whistle - watch for the ones that you fill with water so it sounds more realistic.
2) "Look at the Blue Blue Sky" binoculars - kids ones that are sturdy and inexpensive
3) "Rain on my Face" squirt bottle - actually squirt some water high up in the air and let it fall on their faces, they love it!
4) "Wind as it Rushes By" pinwheel or fan - I like the pinwheel because they can blow it, but I've also used those small hand-held fans that are run by battery.
5) "Touch a Velvet Rose" rose - I got lucky and got this from my mom, its a beautiful rose made out of velvet and the kids love holding it, especially the younger girls, because it is so soft.
6) "Walk by our Lilac Tree" scent - Keep an eye out for lilac scented spray, but you can pretend with most any scent because most of the kids won't know the difference. I used Febreeze once! Also, I squirted this as well way up in the air (or down the aisle) so they can smell it but it doesn't get in their eyes or anything like that.
7) "Beautiful world" globe - I got this small squishy ball that looks like a globe from Global Credit Union, it works perfectly, but a spinning globe might be fun as well.
