Come Sit Under the Apple Tree

Apple TreeHere is another “cute” apple tree idea for your darlings!  

 

Have the child trace their forearm and hand onto brown construction paper.  Spread the fingers wide as the fingers become the branches of the apple tree.  Cut out the traced hand/forearm.   Glue this piece onto a piece of white paper.  Add tissue paper green leaves.  Using a Bingo Dabber, let the child dab on “apples.”  I chose to use a red dabber for this activity, however, you could use any colour you wish!  You could even use a crayon to draw and colour the apples.

Enjoy!

An Apple For You

 

I have shown you the "cut" and the "torn" version.  You can adapt this activity depending on the age of your children and their finger strength.

This a “dear” idea to celebrate the Fall Apple Harvest, encourage a nutritious snack, as well as a perfect symbol for “school.”  Have the children trace or tear a circle shape from red construction paper.  Cut a slit up and stop at the centre of the apple shape.  Overlap the edges and glue, creating a 3-D effect.   Using scraps of brown and green paper, cut out or tear a stem and leaf. Glue onto the apple.

• These apples are adorable when grouped together under a banner that reads, You Are the Apple of My Eye!

 

 

 

 

Ten Red Apples

Ten red apples grow on a tree

Five for you and five for me

Let us shake the tree just so

And then red apples will fall below

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

 

The Apple

Up in the apple tree

High off the ground,

I see an apple

So big and round

I climb up the tree

And hold on tight.

I pick that apple

And take a big bite!

M-m-m-m-m, Good!
