September Apples!

With peanut butter you get jelly, with green eggs you get
ham, and with September you get APPLES!
Yes, apples upon apples. I wanted
to share with you two of the crafts we have done so far this year. While they are fun arts and crafts, they
still serve an academic purpose!

The first craft we did on the first day of school. We read a story, observed some real apples
and did some taste testing. Each kiddo
got to try a green apple slice, red and yellow!
With this we were able to practice functional communication skills as
well as our color identification. Wee
practiced describing apples too!
Following our taste testing we did this craft. First they had to color the apple,
write/trace the word, and then fill it with tissue. It was a simple yet fun follow up activity to
our taste testing!

Our other activity we did was this fun “parts of an apple”
craft. I had a sample displayed on my
projector and each child had to clue all their pre-cut pieces to make it look
like the apple on display. We then
labeled each part. We found a few cute
video’s on you tube that described the life cycle of the apple.
