The warmer temperatures have been rolling in around our neck of the woods as August is coming to a close. And as September approaches, I am getting excited for Fall. I love all things fall, but one of my favorite things to do with the kids is Apple studies. So today I have gathered some fun printables, activities, books, sensory bin ideas and recipes for all things Apples!
These apple activities are great for Back-to-School, Johnny Appleseed and just Fall in general. My kids love apples, so we not only eat them, but like to learn more about them and use them in our activities too. This is always one of my favorite studies of the year and I hope you enjoy these too!
