We read The Life Cycle of an Apple Tree (Plant Life Cycles) by Tagliaferro and Linda
. We learned about the apple tree from seed to a tree full of apples. Then we made our own apple trees.
What you need: glue and construction paper: green, brown, blue & red.
They glued on the green hill the tree would be on.
They glued on the trunk of the tree.
They glued on the leaves of the tree.
They glued on the apples.
The finished product. We were all done and the girls decided they needed falling apples from their trees. You never know what they will get out of a book.

How fun! It looks like the girls had a fantastic time creating their apple trees!
Yes they did. Mary got upset at the end, but still enjoyed it.
Torn paper activities are such a fun activity for kids. Actually, I like joining in on them myself.
The girls love torn paper activities. I think I do have as much fun as they do.
This looks like so much fun
I love the falling apples
I think the falling apples ended up being their favorite part of it. Something to surprise mom.
So fun! I especially love the falling apples. It really is AMAZING what they get out of books. I’ll tell my little miss something, and I quite often hear in response “like the book mama”. She is always referencing her books
They always surprise me with what they learn and keep learning.
I am so happy to have come across your blog! I absolutely love it. My daughter is turning 3 in Nov. and we have started home schooling. It’s so much fun! Look forward to using your packs with her, thank you! Great, great work!

I love these apple trees! What a great Fall activity.
I love how they had to add the falling apples because they learned it in the book! Thanks for sharing at the Sunday Showcase.
