Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

This is such an easy apple tree project. Cheyanne love doing it because it involved painting and finger printing. We used: A paper plate, water colors and paint brush, red paint and scissors. Cut the side out of the paper plate to look like a tree. Paint the trunk brown and the top of the tree green. Next dip your finger into the red paint and dot the top of the plate to make the apples.

This is an easy game to make with the Apple theme. This game is to help teach kids to put numbers in their correct order. We used construction paper, glue, markers and scissors. Cut out apple shapes, and write the numbers on them. If you want the apples to last longer, laminate them with contact paper. Now have your preschooler put them in order.

We are continuing with our apple crafts. The 2 we did today that have cute poems to go along with them. The first craft we did, we used: Paper, red paint, brown paint, green paint and a paint brush. I painted Cheyanne's palm and stamped it on the paper twice. Then we made a leaf and a stem with Chey's finger prints. The poem that goes along with it is: Away up high In the apple tree, Two red Apples Smiled at me. I shook the tree As hard as I could And down came the Apples MMMMMM were they good !!!!! Finger Print Apples The next project we used: paper, ink pad and markers. The girls stamped their fingers to make the apples. They then added stems and leaves with the markers. A cute poem to go along with this is: These are special apples Hanging on this tree. I made them with my fingers prints They are a part of me. During this week we are also going to use a juicer to juice Red, Yellow and Green apples to see how they taste different.

For the next 2 weeks at school our theme will be Apples are Round. And apples are Red, Green and Yellow. We will be making: Torn Paper Apple Plates A is for Apple Tree Paper Bag Apples: We used: A small paper bag stuffed with newspaper and a twisty tie to close it, green paper leaf, red paint, brush and glue. Cheyanne painted the apple bag. Then glued on the leaf. Here are some more fun apples crafts we have done. I will also be posting some more fun apple crafts in the next few days.

I know everyone has done "A" for apple, but apple printing is so much fun. We used: construction paper, an apple, red paint, glue, scissors and a knife. I cut out the letter "A" from green construction paper. Cheyanne printed with half of an apple. I cut out a truck and Cheyanne glued it to the "A". Of course we had to keep printing with the apple.

One of the classes in my preschool did this craft , and I thought it was so cute. They used orange fabric to wrap the toilet paper. I did not have any orange fabric, so I used crepe paper streamer. I thought this would be a great way to add some Halloween or Fall decorations to a bathroom. You will need: - A full roll of toilet paper - crepe streamers, fabric or a large piece of tissue paper - small brown paper bag - green construction paper Wrap the toilet paper. Roll and twist the paper bag for the stem. Cut out a green leave. Put the stem and leave in the center of the roll.

Here is yet another Apple Craft, can you tell I like apples. This is a fun craft Cheyanne did, making an apple tree with apple printing. You will need: construction paper, brown, red and green paint, paint brush, apple, knife and a craft stick. Cut an apple in half. Stick a craft stick on the back side for easy gripping. Make a trunk for the tree, we used a foot print. Paint the apple and stamp the paper for the tree top. Use green for the leaves and red for the apples. Decorate the rest of the picture. Cheyanne drew grass and a Jack-O-Lateran.

Here is another apple craft that allows me to use a hand print. I love hand print crafts. You will need: Paper, green paint, brush, scissors and glue. Make a green hand print at the top of the paper. Cut out an apple shape for a guide to follow or draw an apple shape. Cut red paper into small shapes. Glue on red paper to the apple shape.

This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.
