Apple Printables and Activities

August 26, 2023 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

Apples are a fun theme in the fall because they are everywhere in the stores and also a symbol of school. So many bloggers have made apple themed projects, printables and activities, you could do an apple theme in the classroom for weeks!

Here are a few great sources from printable apple activities.

A Dab of Glue Will Do has a set of apple alphabet matching cards, which you use to match the upper case and lower case letter for each letter of the alphabet. This is a free printable.

Simple Fun for Kids offers a printable read, trace and connect worksheet with basic fall words to trace and connect to a picture of the thing (apple, tree, flower, etc.) They did a seven days of apple themed printables series, so check out the whole series here if you need more apple content.

Practice counting and associating numbers with their number words with this printable activity from Growing Book by Book. It goes with a book called Ten Red Apples, but you can use it with any apple-themed reading or unit study.

From ABCs to SATs has a great collection of apple themed activities and printables, including do a dot printables, sight word matching, a printable apple life cycle book, pattern matching, apple seed counting, cutting practice and more. These are great for preschool and kindergarten kiddos.

Fluffy Tots has a nice collection of apple printables, too, which includes number puzzles, counting activities and more (and a few free and a few paid options).

Speaking of pattern completion, there’s another printable on that theme from Tot Schooling that has kids continue the color pattern with dot markers (you could use regular markers or crayons if you don’t have dot markers handy).

If you’re willing to pay a bit for your activities, I found a couple of Montessori printable sets, from Montessori Nature and Montessori Inspired Printables, which include three-part cards, life cycle information and more.

Learn about Vikings for Leif Erikson Day

Leif Erikson Day is celebrated on Oct. 9, and it’s a great time to learn more about the Vikings and why we still remember Erikson all these years later. 

If you don’t know about Leif Erikson (sometimes spelled Eriksson), he’s believed to have been born in Iceland, and is considered the first European to set foot on continental America, more than 500 years before Christopher Columbus. 

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a printable mini book about Leif Erikson and the Vikings for kids to read and color. It talks about who the Vikings were, what kind of ships they used, how they got to America and more. It’s a good overview for younger kids to use. 

A good unit study is available from Simple Living Creative Learning, which includes a page where kids can write what they know, what they want to learn and what they learned through the unit, as well as information on the Vikings, longships, helmets, clothing and more. 

Get a printable Viking unit study with reading passages, comprehension questions and other activities aimed at grades 4-8 from Creative Classroom Core at Teachers Pay Teachers. (And see more Vikings content from TPT here.)

Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus has some great unit study ideas, too, including suggested books and videos. The post includes information about the Viking voyages, society, mythology and ships, as well as some vocabulary and a list of famous Vikings. While you’re over there also check out her free printable lapbook, which includes mini books on ships, a timeline, a Viking women coloring page, draw your own Vikings, geography, ancient runes and more. 

Piqolo Kids has a lesson on Viking women with (available for purchase) worksheets about a day in the life of Viking women. Even if you don’t grab the printables there’s some good resources on that page and a link to a video on Viking women. 

Learn how to draw a Viking ship with instructions from Drawing How to Draw, or grab Vikings coloring and labeling worksheets from Kids Puzzles and Games.

There’s a Leif Erikson Festival annually in Norway, Michigan, which you can learn more about here.
