I was reminded of this set when I made the berries<\/a> a few weeks ago. It doesn’t look like I ever blogged it though! <\/p>\n

I now have three sets of food in the same envelope–this one, the berries, and the Very Hungry Caterpillar fruit<\/a>. They overlap in different ways so it’s handy to have them all together! <\/p>\n

This is a rhyme that I am sure I found online somewhere, but originally came from an old teachers’ resource book by Marlene and Robert McCracken called Fall<\/a>. The poem as it appears in their book is: <\/p>\n

\nORANGE as a carrot,
\nYELLOW as a pear,
\nPURPLE as a plum,
\nBROWN as a bear,
\nGREEN as the grass,
\nBLUE as the sky,
\nBLACK as a witch’s hat,
\nRED as cherry pie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I liked the simplicity of it but wanted to avoid a reference to witches. I also wanted to use it for a food storytime, too, so once I decided to adapt the witch’s hat line, I went ahead and adapted all the colors to match to foods:<\/p>\n

\nOrange as a carrot,
\nRed as a cherry,
\nYellow as a pear,
\nBlue as a berry,
\nPink as a lollipop,
\nPurple as a plum,
\nGreen as an apple,
\nAnd now we’re all done.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s the pieces I made to go with: <\/p>\n

\"Orange<\/a><\/p>\n

The blueberry and the cherries are borrowed from the berries set, and the plum is borrowed from the Very Hungry Caterpillar set. I just duplicated the green pear and red apple from the VHC set to be a yellow pear and a green apple for this rhyme. Now I have a good set of foods to use in lots of different ways! <\/p>\n
