Apple Activities for Home or Preschool

Fall always makes me think of apples, apple cider and apple activities to do with kids. Teaching 2 and 3 Year Olds has a whole week of apple activities that you can do with your little ones at home or in a classroom.

There are lots of art activities like making stamps and suncatchers, fine and gross motor activities like lacing and jumping games, alphabet activities, math and more.

You’ll even find recipes for playdough, science and STEM activities, snacks and songs. Throw in a reading of “Ten Apples Up on Top” or another apple-themed book (or Johnny Appleseed story) and you can fill days with all these fun apple activities she’s picked.

Head to the website for all the links.

Playdough Learning Activities

I really thought I had written more Grinch content than I seem to have over here. The only specific Grinch thing I’m finding is this Grinch science activities post. That’s definitely not enough of the green guy, so let’s look at some more Grinch activities and crafts for the classroom.

Make it a full Grinch Day in your classroom with these ideas and activities from The Friendly Teacher. I’m a sucker for a good Venn diagram! Michelle J Designs has some cute Grinch printable activities you can include, such as a dot to dot, Grinch trivia, word games and more.

Younger students can practice their scissor skills with these printable cutting pages from 3 Boys and a Dog. They also have a super cute Grinch code and decoding worksheets where kids can match the symbols to the letters and read the secret message. Christmas Countdown has a lot of great Grinch content, too, including a fun Grinch quiz that has questions about both the book and the movie. (Some of these activities are better for adults, but there are word searches and movie quotes and things, too.)

Grab some Grinch coloring pages for art area or to use at home from Cute Animals Coloring Pages.

I’ve done one easy Grinch craft that I shared on my blog when I made these as a craft for a Christmas party for my daughter’s class many, many years ago. You might have to order the green chenille stems in the correct color, but other than that it’s pretty easy to source the materials and easy to make as well.

You can also make a Grinch face with Popsicle sticks, like this one from Rainy Day Mum.

And this one is a bit of a deep cute, but you can make wreaths like the Whos have in the book with this tutorial from Babble Dabble Do. They’re so cute and not as obviously Grinchy, which is kind of fun.
