Apple Theme

 

No matter how much I mourn the end of summer, I always find a little comfort in knowing apple season is coming! There are so many fun preschool apple theme activities I will explore with your children. I love when the scents of cinnamon and apples take over our learning space.

WHY IT’S FUN

Apple activities are a staple in preschool curriculums and for good reason! Any time we can use an object that kids have the opportunity to interact with and explore regularly we’re allowing them to make meaningful connections that they’ll be able to recall often as they see and use those objects again. There are also a wide variety of sensory activities to explore when doing an apple theme. And of course apples provide a lot of opportunities for tasting…which is always fun for little ones!

These are just some of the concepts our kids will learn about during our apple theme:

• The five senses as they explore real apples
• Different kinds of plants
• Parts of a plant
• The life cycle of an apple
• The physical properties of apples
• Fruits and healthy food choices
• Foods that can be made with apples
• How foods get from farms to our homes
• Seasons
