(sung to Do you Know the Muffin Man)
Do you know the apple man,
the apple man, the apple man?
Do you know lthe apple man?
He planted apple seeds.
He wore a pot upon his head,
upon his head, upon his head.
He wore a pot upon his head.
His name was Johnny Appleseed.
John Chapman was his real name,
his real name, his real name.
John Chapman was his real name;
But, we call him Johnny Appleseed.
Five Apples
The first apple in the basket
was bright and shiny red.
The second apple in the basket
said,"What a cozy bed!"
The third apple in the basket
said,"Please move over there."
The fourth apple in the basket
said,Now we are two pair."
The fifth apple in the basket,
said,"Oh dear, me-oh-my!"
"This basket looks like pastry,"
"I think we're apple pie!"
The kids cut out a basket run off on light brown construction and paste on
light blue. They cut out 5 red apples to put in their basket along with the
above poem.
To go with apple tree/fingerprint apples:
These are special apples,
Hanging on this tree.
I made them with my finger prints.
They are a part of me!
To go with Johnny Appleseed paper bag puppet:
Thank you Johnny Appleseed.
We owe you quite alot.
For the apples that you planted
With a Bible and a cooking pot.
Your seeds were planted far and wide.
You gave a helping hand.
A friendly word you had for all,
Across our frontier land.
Thank you Johnny Appleseed.
We owe you quite alot.
The lovely trees and apples,
And the lessons that you taught!

Apple Magic
By Margaret Hillart
In every single apple lies
A truly magical surprise.
Instead of slicing down,
slice through
And watch the star
appear for you!
Four Red Apples on the Tree
(tune: this old man)
Four red apples on the tree,
Two for you and two for me.
So shake that tree and
Watch them fall.
One, two, three, four - that is all.
