Song: ORANGE TREATS

Orange treats, orange treats, yum, yum, yum.
Which will I choose, oh what fun.
Will it be a carrot, crunchy and sweet?
Will it be orange sections, juicy and sweet?
Will it be orange sherbet, icy and sweet?
What will I choose for my afternoon treat?

3. Cut the 2 orange pieces of construction paper in half long-wise.
4. Glue one half on each side of the open lapbook and on each side of the closed lapbook.
   

   

   
5. Set up 6 stations one at each seat around a kitchen table: coloring (white printing paper with a 3"x3" orange drawn in the corner, orange crayons), painting (white construction paper, paint brush, orange paint), markers (white printing paper with a 3"x3" goldfish drawn in the corner, orange markers), stickers (white printing paper, orange sticker), colored pencils (white printing paper with a 3"x3" tiger drawn in the corner, orange colored pencils), play dough ( orange play dough, play dough tools).  
6. Let your child start with painting (so it will dry on time) and work his way around the table completing each activity ending with play dough (so you will have time to cut while he plays). Child should fill as much of each paper as possible with orange (the picture and the blank space).

    Stickers
   

   
7. While child is playing with play dough; mom will cut a 3.5"x3.5" square around each colored picture (orange, goldfish, and tiger). Save the rest of the paper for the balloons.
8. Cut a piece of the white construction paper in half long-wise. Fold it in a tri-fold accordion style. Glue the 3 orange pictures on the 3 sections (all pictures should be one the same side of the opened paper). Glue the back of the bottom third of the paper to the bottom right of the lapbook.
   

   
9. Mom will trace and cut a 4"x5" balloon shape with the cardstock pattern out of the crayon paper, markers paper, stickers paper, and colored pencil paper (be sure to save the scraps). Then cut an 8"x10" balloon shape with the cardstock pattern out of the painted paper (be sure to save the scraps). 
   

   

   
10. Tie the 3 foot balloon ribbon to the painted balloon and hang it on the wall with the ribbon in the clowns hand. (you can write "orange" on the balloon before you hang it if you would like)
    

    
11. Tie the 4" balloon ribbons to each of the crayon, markers, sticker, and colored pencil balloons. Glue them in the center of the lapbook being sure to glue the top part of each ribbon too. You can tie all the ribbons together or leave them hanging. 
    

    

    
12. Child will cut the scraps that were saved into 2" pieces (the shape doesn't matter).
