Sing a Song
The Food Chant
Apples on a tree
Apples on a tree
Pick them off
Eat them up
Apples on a tree
Carrots in the ground
Carrots in the ground
Pull them up wash them off
Carrots in the ground
Food in your tummy
Food in your tummy
Lick your lips
Mmm Mmm Mmm
Yum yum yummy
Watch!

Try This!
Have your child write their own New Year’s Resolutions. Record them to listen to at the end of the year. Start a tradition of celebrating New Year’s at noon so that your children can join in on the fun of counting down! Have a ball drop (use a piñata or make your own ball by wrapping a beach ball in foil) and “toast” with sparkling apple cider! Make a list with your child of all their favorite memories of last year. Have them draw some of the memories to share with friends and family.
