Apple Printables and Activities

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.

Apple Learning Activities

Whenever you go to the beach with kids, you’re sure to come home with some seashells and more than a little sand. Let’s use some of those treasures to make fun crafts.

This handprint craft is made with a sand-infused salt dough and some little shells from the beach. It’s a cute way to remember how little your kids were on that beach trip. Find the instructions at From Under a Palm Tree.

Here’s another take on sand dough that was used to make little ornaments and sculptures. Get the details from Pink Stripey Socks.

Moms and Crafters used air dry clay and seashells to make these cute necklaces. She used the storebought clay but you can also make your own air dry clay if you’d rather.

Crafts on Sea used a shell to make a whale, but I’m sure you could take this idea and make lots of different creatures. I love the idea of sea creatures made with shells like fish or a jellyfish or an octopus using the same method. They also have a seashell decoration made with salt dough that’s really cute and would be fun for kids to paint. Poke a hole before it dries for hanging if you want.

Or take a bunch of little shells and decorate a frame like these from Rhythms of Play. They used a handprint instead of a picture but you could also put in a picture from the beach trip.

This is probably one for the mamas to make because it uses epoxy, but I also wanted to share these cute and easy shell hair pins from Thrifty Mama Ramblings, which kids are sure to want for their mermaid pretend play.

Or how about some sensory play straight from the beach? Use store bought sand if you don’t have a beach nearby to make this beach sand slime from The Mama Notes. Thrown in some shells and kids will love playing with this one.
