Ten Apples Up On Top
This is a great toddler board book – I particularly like it because of it’s small size. It makes an excellent gross motor game when paired with ten flour/rice-filled red balloons (always supervise young children around balloons)! Can you count how many you can stack before they topple over?

Free Printable: Autumn Gross Motor by MommaAMommaB
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
First one said “Oh my, it’s getting late!”
Second one said “There are witches in the air,”
Third one said “but we don’t care!”
Fourth one said “Let’s run and run and run.”
Fifth one said “I’m ready for some fun!”
Ooo ooo went the wind, and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
Followed to the tune of LittleStoryBug on YouTube
