Fall Apple Trees

This project was intended to help the children develop cutting and drawing skills.  On the day we learned about Apples, we created a tree that hung in the hallway.  At circle time we talked about the many different colors of apples and tasted them. 

For our art activity, we had cut yellow, red and green paper into 4 inch squares.  The children's job was to create apples for the apple tree.  The children chose the colors of apples they wanted to make and then drew their apple.  After they cut it out, they would get a piece of tape from the teacher and go hang it on the tree.  The children worked a long time making more and more apples for the tree.
