Fingerplay: “Five Little Peas”
Five little peas in a pea pod pressed. (fold hands in front of you)
1 grew, 2 grew, and so did all the rest. (pull one set of fingers out of the fist at a time)
They grew and they grew, (slowly pull hands apart)
And they did not stop, (stretch arms as far apart as possible)
Until one day, that pod went, Pop! (clap hands loudly)

Flannel & Puppet Song: “Out In the Garden” by Jean Warren (Tune: “Down By the Station”) (Use a mouse puppet to eat the veggies from the garden.)
Out in the garden early in the morning,
See the red tomatoes all in a row,
See the hungry mouse coming out to eat them,
Munch, crunch, munch, crunch, off they go.
Additional verses:
Red tomatoes
Yellow corn
Green peas
