Inspired by Emily Gravett's amazing picture book, "Orange Pear Apple Bear", this is an easy counting rhyme following a familiar pattern. Learn Baby Sign for Bear and take it away with this cute rhyme.
5 little apples, oranges, and pears
(Hold up five fingers)
Hiding up high from the great hungry bear.
(Lift arms up high, Baby Sign for Bear)
Apple orange pear -- Bear wants his share!
(Baby Sign for Bear)
Munch munch crunch goes the great hungry bear.
(Pretend to eat, Baby Sign for Bear)
4...3...2...1...
To make this flannel board I photocopied illustrations from the book and pasted them together. I have five groups of the fruit. All images belong to Emily Gravett and her publisher...and don't they look wonderful!
