Packed with Apple Ideas

Apple Carton Easel Paintings

Go to your local grocery story and ask them to save the apple dividers that they get in all those apple boxes. They make great canvasses for your paint easel.

Weighing Apples

Get out balancing scales and baskets of apples. Allow the children to weigh the apples trying to balance them. Have children find an object. Then have them see how many apples it will take to make the scales balance again. Paint a batch of walnuts red, yellow and green. Have the children place one apple on one side of the scale and the painted walnuts on the other, how many walnuts does it take to balance the scale.
