Until one day, the pod went POP!

Four fat peas...
Three fat peas...
Two fat peas...
One fat pea...
ACTION RHYMES
Vegetable Soup Song
(Tune: “Farmer in the Dell”)
The soup is boiling up
The soup is boiling up
Stir slow – around we go
The soup is boiling up.
First we add the broth
First we add the broth
Stir slow – around we go
The soup is boiling up.
Now we add some carrots
Now we add some carrots
Stir slow – around we go
The soup is boiling up.
(Add more verses for any vegetables you like!)
The Good Food Song
(Tune: "Old MacDonald Had A Farm")
Vegetables are good for me, EE I EE I O
And so I eat them happily, EE I EE I O
With a carrot, carrot here and a carrot, carrot there
Here a carrot, there a carrot, everywhere a carrot, carrot.
Vegetables are good for me, EE I EE I O.
(Sing with more vegetables you like!)
Planting Time
(Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
Dig, dig, dig the earth
(pretend to dig)
Then you plant your seeds
(pretend to plant)
A gentle rain
(fingers flutter down)
The bright sunshine,
(arms circle overhead)
And veggies you will see!
(open arms wide)
One Potato
One potato, two potatoes,
(clap on each number)
Three potatoes, four
Five potatoes, six potatoes,
Seven potatoes, more!
Eight potatoes, nine potatoes,
Ten potatoes, then…
We dig them up
(pretend to dig)
And start again!
I Like Veggies
(Tune: “Are You Sleeping?”)
I like veggies, I like veggies.
Do you too? Do you too?
I like corn and carrots,
I like corn and carrots.
And peas too! And peas too!
We like veggies, we like veggies,
Do you too? Do you too?
We like greens and onions,
We like greens and onions,
And potatoes! And potatoes!
