Song/Flannel: 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)
Song/Rhyme: “Tree Song” (Tune: “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”)
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (trunk and roots)
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (trunk and roots)
Trees are important to me and to you
Leaves, branches, trunk and roots (trunk and roots)
Movements: Hands and fingers are the leaves – wiggle high in the air
Move arms straight out for the branches
Touch upper body with hands when saying “trunk”
Touch legs when saying “roots”
