Apples are good for you!
Action Rhyme:
Way up high in the apple tree. (point up)
Two little apples smiled at me. (make a shape of a apple with your hand)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (pretend to shake a tree)
Down fell the apples--- (raise hands and let them fall)
MMMMMM, were they good! (circle tummy)
Science
Let children discover the difference between raw, cooked and baked apples. Cut a couple of apples into slices and bake, and simmer some apple slices. Children will be able to experience the changes in color, texture and taste.
Apple Lacing
Print and glue apple on cereal box carton and cut out. Punch holes all around the apple. Put tape on one end of the yarn. With a knot tie the yarn on the apple. Have children lace around the apple.
Dried Apple Rings
Peel, core, and cut apples into chip size circles. Dip the circles in fresh lemon juice. Use a wire cutter to cut a white coated clothes hanger. Decorate the hanger with some apples made out of craft paper and add the apple rings. (Don't let the apple slices touch each other.) Hang the apples in a dry, airy spot and let them dry for one to two weeks. Tip: Turn the apples every day.
Make Your Own Applesauce
Applesauce is easy to make. Five pounds of apples make about 2
quarts of applesauce. Peel, core and slice apples into quarter. Put in
a pot and partially cover with water. Boil apples until they are soft. Let children use a potato masher to mush the apples to make applesauce. Add sugar and cinnamon to taste.

Johnny Appleseed and The Apple Tree
As a young boy John Chapman ("Johnny Appleseed") loved to help care of apple orchards. He loved eating and picking apples. He spent 50 years planting apple seeds and tending and growing apple trees. He traveled around the country to spread his precious trees. (Learn more about his life.)
Read the book: Johnny Appleseed to your children.
From Seed to Apple
Talk about what plants need to help them grow. All seeds and plants need sun, water, air, nutrients, and soil in order to grow. After a apple seed is planted, it takes a few weeks before it will sprout. Then, the roots grow down into the soil. The stems grow upwards and toward the light and leaves are starting to develop on the stems. Apple trees do not bear fruit until they are 5-8 years old. Then, fragrant white blossoms appear in the spring. The flowers are pollinated by bees and other insects. When the blossoms fall off, small baby apples begin to grow in their place. Only flowers that have been pollinated can grow into apples. By late summer they are fully grown and ripe. The apples are hand picked, washed and stored.
View our suggestions of apple books to read.
Rhyme:
Eat an apple,
Save the core.
Plant the seeds,
And grow some more.
(Author Unknown)
Math and Science:
Estimate how many seeds are in an apple. Cut open apple and count to see.
Write numbers on apple outlines and have children place the correct number of seeds inside the apples. (Great fine motor skill activity.)
Look at apple seeds and an apple cut in half with a magnifying glass.
A Trip To The Apple Orchard
There is no better way to learn about apples than to actually go to an apple orchard. Your children can see what a tree really looks like; pick, sort, wash and eat apples; make apple cider; learn about how food goes from farmer to the grocery store or market.
