, by . Leave a Comment

There are so many fun ideas for things to do with kids that have to do with apples, whether you’re in a classroom environment or just want to do something fun with the kids on the weekend. Here are a bunch of ideas to get you started on an apple unit study or fun apple activities to do with one or a few kids.

Apple Theme Unit Study

1 Plus 1 Equals 1 did a weeklong apple theme unit with her kindergarten daughter and lays out what was on their shelves, different activities they did and where to get all the printables. She also has a collection of apple theme activities printables that would be fun for kindergarten and beyond.

This apple syllable sorting activity from Royal Baloo is really cute and a great way to get kids to play with syllables. She also has an apple multiplication activity and a Johnny Appleseed unit study.

Earth Day Printables and Activities

I know doing printables for Earth Day doesn’t sound very eco friendly, but it does give you a chance to talk to kids about how you can make the classroom or the home a little greener by only printing what you need, using low ink or only black and white printing, printing on the back of other pages, using recycled paper and recycling what you can when you are done.

These Earth Day printables help kids learn about Earth Day or use earth designs.

Pre-K Pages has Earth Day math printables, including a dice rolling game with a recycling theme, graphing, number grouping and sequencing activities.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a variety of printables for Earth Day including writing prompts, plant life cycle worksheets and links to other activities.

A Dab of Glue will Do has a little printable emergent reader book that explores the basics of Earth Day and some things we can all do to be kind to the planet. You can print it in color or black and white and have kids color it themselves.

Speaking of coloring pages, Preschool Mom has a collection of coloring pages with color versions that you can use as posters in the classroom as well as having kids color the black and white ones.

I love all the printable hands on activities from Differentiated Kindergarten, which help kids build fine motor skills with an Earth Day twist. You’ll find printable mats for use with playdough, geo boards, snap cubes, pattern blocks and Legos, as well as a Q-tip painting activity. You can get these when you sign up for emails.
