Felt Story: Apple Roll! (Storytime Katie)
Five little apples in a bowl
One fell out and started to roll
It bumped the table and hit my feet
How many apples left to eat? (count down)

Book 2: 10 Apples on Top by Dr. Seuss

Finger Play: A Little Apple Seed (found on Ms. Emily Library; credit Madelyn's Library Programming)

Tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider

Once a little apple seed was planted in the ground 

Down came the raindrops falling all around 

Out came the big sun bright as bright could be

and the little apple seed grew up to be an apple treet

Be a Seed (found on Jbrary; credit King County Library System)

Be a seed, small and round

Sprout, sprout, sprout up from the ground

Shake your leaves for all to see 

Stretch your arms up, you're a tree!
