Singing while coloring

Where “Savez-vous planter les choux ?” comes from, and how it is sung.

Do you know how to plant cabbages, the way we do at home? With a finger, then a foot, a knee, an elbow, a nose… and in each verse you mime with the part of the body you name. The further the list goes, the funnier the poses: planting a cabbage with your nose takes real skill. An old ring song, sung in French nursery schools for generations.
