Songs and Fingerplays:
 

Alligator Pie

Alligator, alligator
(open and close hands like an alligator's mouth)
Alligator pie.
If I don't get some,
I think I'm gonna cry.
(pretend to cry)
You can take away the grass,
(wiggle fingers like grass blowing)
Take away the sky,
(hands over head)
But don't take away
(do alligator's mouth again)
My alligator pie.
 

Five Apples

(count to five on fingers)

The first apple in the basket was bright and shy 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!"  

Craft:

Modified Apple Pie Plate

Instead of using two plates I just used the top plate and had the kids put tissue paper on the backside of the middle slits. Kind of like stained glass. No paint either, I gave them crayons to decorate and "season" their pies.
