This time of year my book Golden Delicious: A Cinderella Apple Story is always popular for teachers to read to their students. In addition to the wonderful pictures from Kathleen Kemly, the tale about the discovery of the Golden Delicious apple in West Virginia is a true story! I've run across some great ideas for classroom activities to accompany reading my book and I'd love to share!
Fun Apple Activities
Probably most appropriate for older grade school students, this was my children's (Mary and Ben) favorite activity when they were little. See how to make a "shrunken apple head" here.
Did you know that there's a star inside an apple? Use this cute idea from The Very Busy Kindergarten Classroom as a fun way for children to learn more about an apple's interior. Students can stamp the apple half and make a print onto a card.
Who knew the apple could be a great tool to teach kids about math? This activity from Mamas Like Me shows how to use construction paper and pom-poms to make apple trees into a fun re-usable math lesson.
Here's a way to help children grow an apple tree from the seeds of an apple.
Do you have any fun ideas for activities to accompany my book? Please share in the comments and see below for a video from Read Aloud West Virginia of me reading from Golden Delicious: A Cinderella Apple Story.
