Packed with Apples

This is the time of the year that I just love.    

Seeing children picking apples off trees or even just the branches that are brought in for them to be able to pick their own apples and observe how they hang from the tree.

Watching them make apple sauce by peeling apples with an apple peeler corer and then being able to pull the apple apart and into a bowl

I love smelling apple sauce cooking in the classroom on that day it smells of apple pie

And the children can not wait to be able to dig in and try it

I love to see their version of an apple made out of paper bags and paint or cut paper and glue

I love to see their excitement that they have their own life size tree in their classroom with their apples on it 

I love to see their ideas form that they need to make leaves for the tree because apple trees have leave and how they where going to do it 

I love to see them doing projects over and over just because they want to

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.

Apple ABC Letter Match

Letter Recognition Apple Match Cut out a supply of apple shapes from construction paper. Write a capital letter on the top of the apple shape and a lower case letter on the bottom of the apple. After laminating the apples cut them in half different ways. Have the children match the capital letter to the lower case letter, putting the apple back together.
