Fantastic Fall!
Stories, songs and rhymes to enjoy in the fall!
Babies
| Rhyme: "Apple Tree" | |
| Away up high in the apple tree, | (lift baby up high) |
| I saw a little apple smiling at me. | |
| I jiggled, and tickled, the trunk of the tree | (dance baby in the air) |
| And down came the apple | (bring baby down) |
| For you and me! | give baby a hug and a kiss |
Toddlers
| Rhyme: "Fall Winds" | |
| Fall winds begin to blow. | (rock your body from side to side) |
| Colored leaves fall fast and slow. | (flutter fingers up and down in the air) |
| Twirling, whirling all around | (turn around, arms out at sides) |
| Till at last, they touch the ground. | (let hands fall to ground) |
Preschoolers
| Song: "The Turkey Strut" | |
| (To hear the tune of this song, go to http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/songs/childrens/hokeymp3.htm) | |
| You put your right wing in, | (put your right arm to the center & out again) |
| You put your right wing out | |
| You put your right wing in, | |
| And you shake it all about. | (right arm to the center and shake) |
| You do the turkey strut, and you turn yourself around, | (strut like a turkey, head bobbing around in a circle) |
| That's what it's all about! | |
| You put your left wing in... | (left arm to center or the circle) |
| You put your drumstick in... | (leg to the center of the circle) |
| You put your stuffing in... | (stick your tummy into the center of the circle) |
| You put your tail feathers in... | (backside into the center of the circle!) |
| You put your turkey body in... | (whole self) |
