Apples, Apples Everywhere


While apples are in season why not share this wonderful book with your children. This beautiful book by Marjorie Priceman will take you on a wonderful adventure and opens to door to talk to your child about how do items make it to our super markets. The best part about the book is the recipe at the end. You can make a yummy apple pie with your little one.

Have extra apples left over from your pie? Make apple prints. All you need are apples, paint and paper. Cut your apples in half either vertical, showing the apples true shape or horizontal, showing the wonderful star. I like to use plastic forks as handles so we do get too messy. You can even turn your prints into stationary by printing on card stock.

Another fun activity with apples is apple tasting. Run out and buy all the apples that your super market carries and let your little ones try them. Talk to them about which they liked better and why. I learned very quickly after doing this we were a mix household of gala and granny smith lovers.
