Singing while coloring

Where “Pomme de reinette et pomme d’api” comes from, and how it is sung.

A counting rhyme for choosing who goes first: tap one fist, or one shoulder, on each beat of “Pomme de reinette et pomme d’api, tapis, tapis rouge”, and whoever gets the last word is chosen. Reinette and api are two very old French apple varieties; the api is small and rosy, gone in a single bite.
