Apples
We read, "Ten Apples Up On Top" and then we stacked beanbag apples on our heads to see how many apples we could get up on top! I made the beanbag apples with felt, beans and a hot glue gun.
Caramel Apples
We unwrapped all the caramels
Then we took out the stems
So Yummy!
Measuring Ourselves with Apples
There is a secret star inside every apple!
We painted it and......
Made apple prints!
Sorting Apples By Their Color
Making Patterns with Apples

Colored Rice and Pasta
Colored rice and pasta! The kids love to scoop and pour it, pick it up with tweezers, and do art projects with them! I colored them with liquid water color from http://www.discountschoolsupply.com
