With Halloween, everyone’s love for the spooky and spectacular is in full force. As I turned each page I gasped, it’s one of those books you just need to sit and look at because each time you do you find some little detail you missed before. I enjoy books like this that simply explain the cycles of the natural world to young kids, but you can’t miss this one. The story follows the cycle of one apple from orchard, to market back to seed, tree and back into the hands of a child. I just adore the look, and creativity of this book. I really enjoy this author but most of my praise for this book lands squarely on the illustrator Karla Gudeon’s shoulders. One Red Apple by Harriet Ziefert is stunning. Great book for preschoolers going on an apple picking field trip, making applesauce or apple prints. Since each member of the family is using their apples for different purposes that fact is driven home. It explains all sorts of apple facts but what I really love is that it also explains that there are different kinds of apples and each are used for different things. The story is more than just a story about a afmily going apple picking at an orchard. Clearly it gets the 3 year old seal of approval. We got it out today and my son has had me read it to him 3 times, and his dad read it twice. She isn’t as fast as her parents, but with hard work and the support of her family she reaches her goal and fills a bin! I loved this book, I would suggest it for preschoolers and up.Īpples, Apples, Apples by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace will not be returned to the library on time. The protagonist is Anna a little girl who works hard in the orchard along side her parents and grandparents. This book is anything but basic, it’s dreamy and while reading it I almost felt as thought I was back in time when a whole community would come to a stand still for something like apple picking. I was expecting a basic book about picking apples at an orchard. I loved how easy it was to adapt to both their levels.Īpple Picking Time by Michele Benoit Slawson was not what I was expecting, it was so much more. For my daughter I had her simply count and sort. For my son I had him figure out how many more the tree with the most had than the tree with the least and do some other simple addition and subtraction by allowing him to eat a few and then telling me how many there were after eating them. Pour the candies back in the jar, shake, and repeat the game.Sneak a few candies… or every single green candy when mom is busy taking pictures of your big brother counting.Which has the most? Which has the least? How many do they all have? Count to find out.Start sorting the candies and placing them on the matching trees.Have them guess which tree will have the most apples on it by estimating which color is the most prevalent in their dish of candies.Shake up the jar with all 3 colors of candies in it and pour some into each child’s dish. Give each child a sheet with three trees and a small dish.You will need a sheet of paper with three trees on it ( you can print mine here), cookie sheets to keep the candies from rolling away, candies ( our natural dyed red is sorta wine colored but the kids didn’t bat an eye), a small dish for each player, and a jar with a lid. Have pom poms or buttons on hand if you need to swap out or prefer not to use candy at all. Every child is different but that rule has worked for me over the years much more often than not. My son is a rule follower by nature and did this as we have in the past. ![]() When working with kids and edibles my rule is that if you do not sneak any you get a small pile at the end of the activity. ![]() This is a simple math game for kids that works on sorting, estimation ,and counting. It’s not the main motivator I want to use but from time to time it’s novelty is useful and a fun break from more everyday things. ![]()
