Apples


Monday was Johnny Appleseed's birthday.  This week we are going on a fieldtrip to an apple orchard.  We'll each get to pick one apple to enjoy! It is supposed to be chilly next week, so don't forget to bring your hats, jackets, & maybe even gloves.


Some apple ideas for at home:
  • Buy several varieties of apples and have blindfolded taste test.  Have each family member vote on which one they like best!
  • Make apple pie
  • or Baked apples
  • We love this apple tart recipe
  • Here's a really simple apple treat 
  • Or just enjoy fresh apples or apple cider.  Yum!
Be sure to read this excerpt about apples from the Handbook of Nature Study

Here's one family's blog post about apple nature study 

Lots of apple coloring page images

Apple poems and songs

Enjoy!  See you next week!
