Book: Plant the Tiny Seed by Christie Matheson

Fingerplay: “Way Up High in the Apple Tree”
Way up high, in a tree (point up)
Two little apples looking down at me (two fists up in the air)
So I shook that tree as hard as I could (two fists shake ‘trunk’)
Down fell the apples (fists fall to ground)
Mmmm! Were they good! (rub tummy)

Song: “My Two Hands”
My two hands go clap, clap, clap
My two feet go tap, tap, tap
My two hands go thump, thump, thump
My two feet go jump, jump, jump

My one body turns around and it quietly sits down.
