Apple Theme for Preschool

Learning about apples is a great fall theme for preschool.  We typically learned about apples right at the beginning of the year, right after our back to school theme, but it can be taught anywhere from August through November.  

A is for Apple Craft

Since we taught about apples right at the beginning of the year, and we began our alphabet learning with the letter a, this craft was the perfect way to bring the two themes together during our second week of school!  Read more about how to make this craft here:  A is for Apple Craft Blog Post.

Letter A Craft: Apple

Letter crafts are one thing my kids love, so you will see a lot of them on this blog.  This is one we do every time we introduce the letter A.  We usually pair letter A week with a week of learning about apples, so this craft is perfect for an A is for Apple week.

First, you will gather all your materials.  You need a lowercase letter a print out, scissors, glue, a red and yellow crayon, and black, green and brown construction paper.

The next step is to color your lowercase letter a red and the circle in the middle of the a, yellow.

You will them grab your scissors and construction paper.  You will cut a stem from the brown paper, a leaf from the green paper and some seeds from the black paper.

The final step is to glue the items you cut out to your letter a.  The stem and leaf go on top and the seeds go inside the yellow center.

And here it is!  The finished letter "A is for Apple" craft!

The letter a outline used to complete this craft can be found here:  Lowercase Letter Outlines
