Apple Songs and Rhymes
Red
Apple
A little red
apple
Hung high in
a tree
I looked up
at it
And it
looked down at me
"Come
down, please" I called
And what do
you suppose---
That little
red apple
Dropped
right on my nose!
Worms
In The Apple Tree
(Tune: Kookaburra)
Look at all the worms in the apple tree,
Eating all
the apples they do see,
CRUNCH, when
they eat their lunch,
There will
be no apples left for me.
Look at all
the birdies, they do call,
Eating all
the worms up, one and all,
SLURP,
little birdies burp,
Guess there
will be apples after all.
Apple Song:
(Tune: Itsy
Bitsy Spider)
Once a
little apple seed was planted in the ground.
Down came the soft rain, falling all around.
Out came the big sun as bright as bright could be
And that little apple seed grew up to be an apple tree!!

Crabapple Rolling::Like marble painting, put paper on the bottom of a box. Dip apples in paint and drop in box. Tilt box to roll the apples and create tracks and designs.
