Everything Apples

September 1, 2009 by Maureen Spell 19 Comments

Apple QuoteI know it’s been pretty quiet here on my blog lately, but believe me I’ve been working on some things to share with you! We’ve started working on an apple unit and are having a blast! I planned the unit for my DD#2 and figured my DD#3 could tag along with some of the stories too. I’ve created a couple of toddler activities to go along with what DD#2 is doing too. I’ve been surprised though that the older kids wanted to join in the fun too. So now we all are doing apple activities!

Here are some of the resources we are using:

Apples:
Apple Trees and Apple Blossoms-great info. by Evelyn Saenz

Apples to Oregon unit from Homeschool Share

How to Make Apple Pie and See the World Unit from Homeschool Share

The Apple Pie Tree Unit from Homeschool Share

Johnny Appleseed:
Unit by Naturegirl 7

Mini-Unit and Lapbook from Homeschool Share

Misc. Apple Stuff:
Preschool Apple File folder game from Homeschool Share

Apple Tree Math Mat from Homeschool Share

Apple Pie Recipe by Aunt Opal from All Recipes.com

I spent some time last week photographing apples and I’m pretty proud of my attempt! I definetly won’t be moving into food photography anytime soon though ;)I did however, enjoy using those images to create toddler apple pattern cards. DD#3 has been working on learning apple colors, so I thought she’d enjoy practicing using the apple cards. If you’d like a copy too, just click the photo. Apple Patterns

Next week I’ll have a guest post showcasing one of our toddler apple activities. My 2 1/2 year old and I had so much fun putting it together. I can’t wait to share it with you. 🙂

Oh, my kids are doing an informal survey and would love to know what your favorite apple is. We’d love if you’d post your answer in the comment section 🙂

McIntosh
Red Delicious
Golden Delicious
Granny Smith
Jonathan
Gala
Fuji
Winesap
Cortland

    My all time favorite is Honey Crisp, but they're hard to find. So Fuji is my favorite right now!

    My favorite is MacIntosh piced ripe and juicy on a cold, crisp, Vermont morning from the apple tree on Garner Rix's farm.

    Thank you so much for adding a link to my Apple Trees and Apple Blossom lens.

    I think this is my first time on your site and boy have I been missing out. Thanks for all the great printables! I wish I would have had those apple pattern cards when my daughter learned about apples. I will definitely have to use them when the boys get around to studying apples. We also did an apple survery. My fave is Fuji and my daugher's fave is Granny Smith.

    I also meant to ask you about the cursive font that you use for your printables. Do you create it yourself or is it a downloadable font? I would LOVE to be able to use it for my daughter who is learning cursive!!!

    What a unit on Apples! I miss the orchards where my older kids and I use to go to pick our apples every year. I think next year I will make a plan to take Selena to the other side of the State to the orchards. My favorite apple is Red Delicous for eating, and Granny Smiths for making apple sauce or apple pies.

    Love the apple pattern cards – we'll have to do an apple unit before we go picking.

    And now I need to know how to crop a picture so that you can just have the image on a white background. Want to come over and teach me? 🙂
