Apples and Fall Leaves

 Welcome

Fall is here and the warmer temperatures we have been having are lovely.

Once again, we have been busy creating with our Apple Theme and our Fall Leaves Theme.

The kids really enjoyed both and picking up leaves has been a real thrill.

So, here's what we did the last couple weeks.

Apple Sun Catchers

I got the kids to stick tissue paper onto some contact paper and then we added the apple outline.

Apple Trees

The were simple paper tubes and added the apples to the top.

Apple Books

In the pages of our books we learned how an apple starts as a seed and grows into a tree.
