APPLE TREES
Here is a fun and always successful activity for toddlers.
 |
Work with toddlers one at a time. |
|
First, give each child an apple tree shape cut from green
construction paper. |
|
Next, set out a small bowl of white glue and 8-10 small red
poms. |
|
Show the child how to carefully dip one of the red poms in
the glue and then press the pom onto the top of the tree shape. |
|
Have the child repeat the action until his poms are gone or
he wants to stop. |
|
Older children could put brown crayon marks on the trunk
of the tree if they wish. |

APPLE MOSAICS
This activity requires a little work on your part but it is super
easy and successful for your toddler.
 |
Cut out large apple shape frames for your children from red
construction paper. |
|
Place the frame on a piece of Contac paper (sticky side up). |
|
Next, cut around the apple shape, leaving a sticky background
inside the apple frame. |
|
Set out some red construction paper 1" squares and give
a sticky apple frame to each of your children. |

Have children place red squares on their sticky paper. |

Encourage your children to cover their entire space with
red squares, however, whatever they manage is fine.
