Apple Themed Fine Motor Activity and Craft for Preschool
This week, I got bitten by the fall
bug. There have been a few cool days, the nights are growing colder,
the days are starting to get shorter. Soon late summer will give in
to Autumn. I am so excited! Fall is my favorite time of year, and I
love the fresh apples that we can pick this time of year. Little M.
does too, so I decided to whip together an easy, fun, seasonal craft
that would also give her a chance to use the hole punch (one of her
favorite things).
We read the book The Apple Pie Tree by
Zoe Hall before we did this craft. It is such a fun little book to
learn about the life cycle of the apple plant!
Here's What You Will Need to Complete This Craft With Your Preschooler:
construction paper in green, light
green, red, yellow, and brown
non-toxic liquid glue
scissors
ruler
circle to trace (I just used the lid
from a circular to go container)
hole punch
Setting Up for the Apple Tree Craft
Trace and cut out three green circles
on the dark green paper to make the tree tops. Use the ruler to
trace and cut out three rectangles to make the tree trunks. Gather the remainder of the materials and lay the out in a space where your preschooler will be comfortable working.
Punching Out the Apples & Assembling the Craft
Invite
your preschooler to make three trees by gluing the brown tree trunks onto a sheet of
the light green construction paper.
Then, give your child the green circles to glue on top of the rectangles for the tree tops.
Hand them a piece of the red,
light green, and yellow construction paper one at a time to punch out
the apples.
Finally, invite them to dot the glue onto the treetops
and glue on the apples. Little M. decided that some apples should
fall on the ground and decided to put some there too.
It was great exercise for her hands
(it's a nice way to prepare for scissor skills). She was also really
happy with the craft at the end. Picking up the tiny circles and
depositing them onto the little dot of glue is tricky too!
You could even jumble up the paper
circle apples and have your preschooler sort them onto three
different trees. (Although Little M. thought it was hilarious to
place green apples on the red apple tree).
Are you doing any fall activities yet?
I would love to hear about them down in the comments below!
Thank you so much for taking the time
to read about our apple craft! If you found this activity helpful,
maybe others would too. Please share on your favorite social media
platforms.
This is so cute...I could also see it be transformed into similar crafts for the different seasons.

That is two millennia of knowledge, civilization and human achievement razed to nothingness by Fascist aggression. Like a terrified Aeneas on the run, Eliot flees the burning shores of Europe to seek reparation to the damages, caused by Western imperialist violence, in the ancient spirituality of the Upanishadas, in its enduring message of peace, compassion and generosity. The coda of The Wasteland is a random series of neurotic visions of a disintegrating reality that is finally salvaged by the incantatory chanting of 'Shantih'.
