Apple week at thrive was Apple-solutely fun!
🍎 Apple Fun for Kids! 🍏
Fall is the perfect time to bring apples into play, learning, and connection! Here are some apple-themed ideas to try at home:
✨ Books to Read Together
📚 Ten Apples Up on Top! by Dr. Seuss
📚 Apple Farmer Annie by Monica Wellington
📚 The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall
🎨 Crafts & Play
• Apple Stamping: Cut an apple in half, dip in paint, and stamp to make art.
• Paper Plate Apple: Color a paper plate red/green, add a paper stem and leaf.
• Apple Sorting: Use real apples or pom-poms—sort by color, size, or count them!
🧠 Skill-Building Activities
• Practice fine motor skills by threading red beads onto pipe cleaners to make “apple bracelets.”
• Work on sensory exploration by doing an apple taste test (sweet, tart, crunchy).
• Strengthen language skills by describing apples—smooth, shiny, round, juicy!
🍎 Apples aren’t just tasty—they can be a playful way to support learning, language, and motor development!
