Are you looking for fun, new ways to inspire your kids' imaginations? Peter Apel's songs, related characters, and activity sheets can be used to introduce a wide number of topics in the classroom. They are great teaching aids and are used for circle times, classroom exercises, and theme reinforcement. For example, the "I Love Bananas" song features Fred, a little spaceman who loves bananas because they have fiber and potassium. Teachers have used this song while covering units on "space" as well as fruit and nutrition.
