Flannel: “Five Little Apples”
5 little apples sitting in a tree,
Teasing Mr. Slinky Worm,
“You can’t eat me!”
Along comes Mr. Slinky Worm as quiet as can be,
And CRUNCHES that apple right out of the tree!

Repeat, counting down until there are no apples left.

Rhyme: “Hurry, Scurry Little Mouse”
Hurry, scurry little mouse,
Starts down at your toes.
Hurry, scurry little mouse,
Past your knees he goes.
Hurry, scurry little mouse,
Past where your tummy is.
Hurry, scurry little mouse,
Gives you a mousy kiss.

Flannel Song: “The Apple Seed” (Tune: “I’m A Little Teapot”)
A little tiny apple seed was planted in the ground
Out came the rain, falling all around.
Out came the sun, as bright as bright can be
And the tiny apple seed became an apple tree!

Rhyme: “Away Up High”
Away up high in the apple tree (lift baby)
I saw a little baby smiling at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could. (shake gently)
Down came the baby, (bring down)
Mmm, was she good! (kiss)

The arms of the robot swing up and down,
Up and down, up and down,
The arms of the robot swing up and down,
All around the room.

The head of the robot turns side to side…
The buttons on the robot blink on and off… (use hands)
The voice of the robot says beep, beep, beep…

Robot, robot, turn around.
Robot, robot, touch the ground.
Robot, robot, turn left and right.
Robot, robot, flash your lights.
Robot, robot, bloop and bleep.
Robot, robot, go to sleep.
