Hey everyone!! Here is last week's Apple Storytime materials, songs, and fingerplays.

Apples

Sign for Apple:

The knuckle of  the forefinger is twisted on the cheek. The cheek represents the apple and the knuckle represents the stem in an appe that is usually twisted out when someone eats an apple.

Songs/Finger Plays:

All Around the Apple Tree (Sung to: 'Mulberry Bush')

Here we go round the apple tree, the apple tree, the apple tree

Here we go around the apple tree

On a frosty morning.

*This is the way we climb the ladder

*This is the way we pick the apples

*This is the way we wash the apples

*This is the way we peel the apples

*This is the way we cook th apples

Here is an Apple

(Make a circle with thumb and pointer)

Here is an apple

(Make  a circle with other thumb and pointer)

And here is an apple

(Make Circle with arms)

Now let's count the apples we've made 1,2,3

A.P.P.L.E (Sung to: B.I.N.G.O)

I know a fruit that grows on trees,

An apple is its name, oh!

A.P.P.L.E

A.P.P.L.E

An apple is its name, oh!
