A Delicious Cake

Mix the batter, stir the batter
Shake some flour in
Mix the batter, stir the batter,
Place it in a tin
Sprinkle little raisins on, pop batter in to bake
Open wide the oven door, and out comes a cake!

An Apple

An apple is what I'd like to be.
My shape would be round.
My color would be green
Children could eat me each and every day.
I'm good in tarts and pies and cake
An apple is good to eat or bake.

An Egg

This little child brought an egg
This one put it in the pan
This one sprinkled on the salt
This one flipped it in the pan
Little one said, with a grin
I will eat this egg if I can.

Apple Chant

I see apples all around.
Apples on the tree
Red, yellow green.
Apples on the ground.
Blue, purple, brown.
I see apples all around.

Apple Poem

Apples big, apples small
Guess what, I like them all

Apple Rhyme

Apples, apples, good to eat
Apples, apples, juicy and sweet
Pick them off a tree, buy them at a store
Apples, apples, we want more.

Apples (tune of Twinkle Twinkle)

Apple, apple tree so tall
I can hardly wait 'til fall
When your apples I can pick
Fill my basket, eat them quick
Apple, apple tree so tall
I can hardly wait 'til fall.
Apple, apple tree so fair
What do I see growing there
Green and round and plump and sweet
Soon they will be good to eat
Apple, apple tree so fair
What do I see growing there?

Apples (tune of Mulberry Bush)

Here we go round the apple tree,
The apple tree, the apple tree,
Here we go round the apple tree
So early in the morning.
This is the way we...
...climb the ladder
...pick the apples
...wash the apples
...peel the apples
...cook the apples

Apples

Apples big and juicy
Hanging from the tree
Apples red and rosy
Glossy as can be.
Apples are for cooking,
Pudding, sauce and pies.
Apples great for munching
A treat for you and I!

Applesauce (tune of Yankee Doodle)

Peel an apple, cut it up
Cook it in a pot
When you taste it you will find
It's applesauce you've got.

Apple Seed

I'm a little apple seed
Peeking through
Please help me.
I'll help you.
Dig me a hole
And hide me away.
And I'll be an apple tree
Some fine day.

Apple Up High (Twinkle Twinkle)

Apple, apple, way up high
I can reach you if I try
Climb a ladder, hold on tight
Pick you quickly take a bite
Apple, apple way up high
I can reach you if I try.

Bananas

Bananas are my favorite fruit
I eat one every day
I always take one with me
When I go out to play
It gives me lots of energy
To jump around and run
Bananas are my favorite fruit
To me they're so much fun!

Basic Food Groups (tune of Row Row)

Here are the food groups
Dairy, bread and meat
And don't forget that vegetables
Are important for you to eat
Have a food from each
And you'll grow healthy and strong
Food nutrition is on the way.

Betty Botter

Betty Botter bought some butter.
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I put it in my batter,
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter,
Will make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
Better than her bitter butter
And she put it in her batter,
And it made her batter better.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

Brown Buns

Five brown buns in a bakery shop
Five brown buns with sugar on the top
Along came a man with a penny in his hand
He took one bun and away he ran.
Four brown buns...
No brown buns in the bakery shop
No brown buns with sugar on top
Along came a man with a penny in his hand
He took one look and away he ran.

Cake

Magic, magic, make it bake.
Look at our enormous cake.
Take a piece, taste it too.
What's it like? Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!

Cinnamon Bun

One, one cinnamon bun
Two, two chicken stew
Three, three cakes and tea
Four, four I want more
Five, five honey in a hive
Six, six, pretzel sticks
Seven, seven straight from heaven
Eight, eight clean your place
Nine, nine look at mine
Ten, ten, start over again.

Climbing up the Apple Tree

Climbing up the apple tree
Swinging on a limb
If I hear a robin, I may
Sing along with him
And robin if you fly away
This is what I'll do
I'll wish a pair of sparrows wings
And fly away with you.

Delicious Donuts (tune of Frère Jacques)

A dozen donuts, a dozen donuts
That means 12, that means 12
Chocolate, white or jelly filled
Icing or sprinkles
They are delicious, they are delicious.

Disappearing Donut (tune of BINGO)

I know a treat that has a hole
As you can plainly see, DONUT, DONUT, DONUT
Save a bite for me. CHOMP!
(leave off first letters and repeat just as in BINGO)

Five Currant Buns

Five currant buns in the baker's shop,
Big and round with some sugar on the top.
Along came Tom with a penny to pay
Who bought a currant bun and took it right away.

Four...

No currant buns in the baker's shop,
Big and round with some sugar on the top.
No one came with a penny to pay,
So close the baker's shop and have a baking day.

Five fat peas in a pea-pod pressed,
One grew, two grew and so did the rest.

A caterpillar... munch, munch
Four little apples hung on a tree
The farmer didn't care
So guess who came to eat
A bird... munch, munch

Guess who'll be there
The caterpillar
The bird
The pig
The horse
And the scarecrow
Yum, yum.

Have You Ever Seen An Apple (tune of Did You Ever See A Lassie)

Have you ever seen an apple, that grows on a tree
A red one, a yellow one, a red one, a yellow one
Have you ever seen an apple, that grows on a tree.

Hot Cross Buns

Hot cross buns, hot cross buns,
One-a-penny, two-a-penny, hot cross buns.

One-a-penny, two-a-penny, hot cross buns.
If you haven't any, of these pretty elves,
You cannot do better, than eat them up yourselves!

If I Had a Bagel (tune of If I Had a Hammer)

If I had a bagel,
I'd eat it in the morning,

I'd eat it with all my friends and sisters and brothers
All, all over this land.

I'm a little popcorn in a pot,
Heat me up and watch me pop.
When I get all fat then I'm done,
Popping corn is lots of fun.

In the Apple Tree

Away up high in an apple tree.
Two red apples smiled at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could.
Down came the apples,
And m-m-m they were good!

Jam

There is apple jam for breakfast,
And blueberry jam for lunch.
There is cherry jam for dinner,
Jam is so good to munch.
There is grape jam for my pancakes,
And gooseberry jam for toast;
But orange marmalade on crackers
Is the one I like the most.

Jelly Beans

Jelly beans in the jar I see
There are five for you and five for me
We jump each time we put one in.

And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need
The sun and rain and the apple seed
The Lord is good to me.
Johnny Appleseed. Amen.

Just joking around with great big grins.

Making Cookies

I am making cookie dough
Round and round the beaters go
Add some flour from a cup
Stir and stir the batter up
Roll them, cut them, nice and neat
Put them on a cookie sheet
Bake them, count them, 1, 2, 3
Serve them to my friends for tea.

Milk Products (tune of Row Row)

It fell from a tree down to the ground.
Come let me share my apple, please do!
My mother can cut it right in two -
One half for me and one half for you.

Our Vegetables

Many of our vegetables grow underneath the ground.
Some are small, some are large, some are long, or round.
The first one we call spinach, fresh, crisp, and green.
The second one is cabbage; the third one string bean.
The fourth one is a tomato, juicy, round, and red.
The fifth one is a radish, and I eat it with my bread.
The sixth one is a carrot, crunchy, sweet and long.
The seventh is an onion, and oh, but it is strong!
The eighth one is a squash; we'll cook it in a pan.
The ninth one is an ear of corn (but not corn in a can).
The tenth is a potato to mash or fry or bake.
What a delicious vegetable feast we will surely make.

Hung high in a tree

Come down, please I called
And what do you suppose
That little red apple
Dropped right on my nose.

Soup is all gone!

Spaghetti, spaghetti, you're wonderful stuff
I love you spaghetti, I can't get enough
You're covered with sauce and you're sprinkled with cheese
Spaghetti, spaghetti, oh, give me some please.

You wiggle, you wriggle, you squiggle around
There's slurpy spaghetti all over my plate
Spaghetti, spaghetti, I think you are great!

Ten Rosy Apples

Ten rosy apples high in a tree.
Safely hiding where no one can see.

The Apple

Within its polished universe
The apple holds a star.
A secret constellation
To scatter near and far.
Let a knife discover
Where the five points hide.
Split the shiny ruby
And find the star inside.
