Aa is for apple
The fall is the best time of year, do you know why? It’s apple season! There are so many fun things to do with apples. Here is a collection of some of my favourite apple activities.
Crafts:
1. 3D Paper apples
2. Apple Prints
3. Apple Seasons Book
4. Bingo Dabber Apple Trees: This craft is great for 1-2 year olds as the dabber is easy to hold and they love to bang their hands. Do hand-over-hand until they get the hang of it. Just be careful the ink IS NOT WASHABLE, use a smock.
5. TP Roll Trees
6. Apple lacing: Have your child paint a paper plate red, green, yellow or brown. Punch holes around the perimeter of the plate. With a piece of yarn have your child “sew” around the edges. Add a construction paper stem and leaf.
