PreK and Kindergarten Apple Theme Ideas

This week we’re starting our meet-up with our local homeschool co-op. Over the last four {or maybe it’s five??} years, I have taught the 4-year-old class and we have an A-Z theme. I have all the lesson plans together and essentially could teach the class in my sleep.

Imagine my surprise when I found out I was teaching the 3-year-old class this year. A.k.a. pick a relevant theme.

Time to hit my files and pull up some themed ideas. This week we’re going to be learning about apples – seems like a good time, eh? My bag is chocked full of fun stuff for the morning and we’re ready to go!

Here are a few of the fun ideas that I found via Pinterest and the internet. Although we won’t be doing all of these, they are still great to share!

Apple pie themed playdough basket from Counting Coconuts – I know the kids are going to LOVE making mini apple pies {even if they are pretend}.

Making Apple Pie with Kids via the Educator’s Spin on It – some fun ideas {love the measurement examples} for making apple pies together. Doesn’t hurt that I love the Apple Pie Tree book as well!

Apple Button Craft via Free Kids Crafts – if I had bunches of buttons handy, we would definitely be doing this!

Apple Tree Craft via Happy Home Fairy ~ I LOVE this craft and know a certain little boy at home that will be making this with me!

Felt Apple Craft via Brandy’s Crafts – I really need to buy a pair of pinking shears, because I absolutely adore this felt apple.

Apple Unit Printables via 2 Teaching Mommies – If you are looking for some great printables specifically for apples, this is a GREAT prek and k pack for you to grab!

Torn Paper Apple Craft via Homeschool Creations – this craft has been one that we’ve done for years with our kids. The kids love ripping the paper a WHOLE lot!

Apple Word Cards – these are word cards that go along with the Read, Build, Write Vocabulary Mats. Time to pull these out again at our house!

A is for Apple Tot Printables from 1+1+1=1 – If you have a younger child in your house, these are some fun printables to use with your toddler and early preschooler. I have a few of these printed to use tomorrow as well.

If you’re looking for more ideas, be sure to check out my Fall Themed Pinterest board. I have a bunch of other ideas pinned there as well!

Can’t wait to see what you all have been up to this week – if you have a fun apple idea, will you leave a comment with a link so others can see them as well? Thanks so much for sharing with each other!
