Apple Tree Painting with Loofas

The Dollar Tree sells these tiny loofas that are PERFECT for stamping.

This time, we used the loofas to make Apple Trees!

 

Apple Eraser Stacking

Today we used easy-grip tongs to stack apple-shaped erasers. The kids had to make towers with different number of apples, different color patterns and specific color groups.

This was a great way to practice hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and patterning!

Apple Sauce Playdough

Today we made Apple Sauce Playdough. I got the recipe from www.littlebinsforlittlehands.com .

I tweeked the recipe just a little bit by using all-purpose flour. I also put in more flour and less water. It turned out awesome! The kids had a blast :)

Under the Apple Tree

To start our Apple Unit, we read Under the Apple Tree by Steve Metzger.

 

Then we made our own class book!
