Wednesday Creative Nanny: It's Apple Season

It's Apple Season.
If you have an apple orchard close to you, it's always fun to go on an outing to pick apples but, even if you don't pick your own apples, it's fun to sing, do fingerplays, read about and eat apples!

My favorite APPLE FINGERPLAY is called

Way Up High in the Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree (stretch arm up high)

Two red apples smiled at me (hold up 2 fingers)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (make a shaking motion)
Down came the apples, (make a downward motion)
Mmmm--were they good! (smile and rub stomach)

Go to Creative Nanny for another fingerplay ,apple songs and books and a fun snack idea.
