A is for Apple

• Write or Trace the letter A. (write) (trace)

• Tell the story of William Tell and act it out (just the legend part about hitting an apple of his kids head...my kids love any excuse to use their bow and arrows)

• Dissect apples and study the textures/shapes/colors with a magnifying glass. Cut some in half in different ways, try to find the star of the apple. Discuss parts of the apple

• Bob for apples!

• Use construction paper, scissors and glue to make a diagram of an apple and label parts: core, stem, seeds, skin, etc..

• Book - 10 Apples up on Top. let the kids try to do the same thing with bean bags, or socks on their head. Find a movie of the book HERE or HERE ( I like the second one better)

• Make applesauce and of course, eat it!

• Do apple prints (cut apple in half, dip in paint and stamp on blank sheets of paper)
