Juicy Apples

(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”)

Apples juicy, Apples round,
On the trees and on the ground.
Apples yellow, Apples red,
Apple juice or pie or bread.
Apples crunchy, Apples sweet,
Apples are so good to eat!

A Little Apple Seed

A Little Apple Seed

(Tune: “Eensy Weensy Spider”)

Once a little apple seed was planted in the ground.
Down came the soft rain, falling all around.
Out came the sun as bright as bright could be
And that little apple seed grew to be an apple tree!!

The Body Parts

(Tune: “Frere Jacques”)

Here’s my head.
Here’s my nose.
See my hands
Touch my toes
Reach up with my fingers,
High as they can go.
Wave them back,
To and fro.

Fuzzy Little Caterpillar

Fuzzy Little Caterpillar

(Tune: “Eensy, Weensy Spider”)

A fuzzy little caterpillar,
curled upon a leaf
spun her little chrysalis,
and then fell fast asleep.
While she was sleeping,
she dreamed that she could fly
and when she woke up from her nap,
she was a butterfly!

5 Little Dragons

February 23, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Five Little Dragons

Five little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only four little dragons came roaring back.

Four little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only three little dragons came roaring back.

Three little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only two little dragons came roaring back.

Two little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only one little dragon came roaring back.

One little dragon went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
But no little dragons came roaring back.

Mother dragon said, “It’s a really good snack!”
And all five little dragons came roaring back.
