Tired from the busy day
To the shops, and to the school

Cars are sleeping in their homes
Tired from a busy day

Fall Felt Board Stories

FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS

Five little pumpkins sitting on the fence
The first one said, “oh my it’s getting late”
The second one said, “there are witches in the air”
The third one said, “but we don’t care”
The fourth one said,”let’s run and run and run”
The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun”
Ooooh went the wind, and out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight



FIVE LITTLE LEAVES
Five little leaves so bright and gay
Were dancing about a tree one day
The wind came blowing through the town
And one little leave came tumbling down...

To London Bridge:
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves are falling down, red, yellow, orange and brown

Way Up High in the Apple Tree

Way up high in the apple tree, five little apples were looking at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could,
And down came an apple, mmm, mmm,
It was good!
