Apple Tree
Way up high in the apple tree, raise baby’s arms over head
Two little apples did I see. hold up two fingers
So I shook that tree as hard as I could, jiggle baby
And down came the apples, lower baby between your legs to the ground
Mmm! They were good! Rub baby’s tummy and hug
Ten Red Apples
Ten red apples growing on a tree hold hands high w/ fingers extended
Five for you and five for me wave one hand, then the other
Help me shake the tree just so shake tree
And ten red apples will fall below lower hands & wiggle fingers
1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7, 8, 9,10!
