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.
