Seasons of the Apple Tree

We painted the students' arm and hand brown and stamped it four times.  We used scrunched tissue paper for the spring apple blossoms.  Summer leaves were sponged on and apples are thumbprints.  Students ripped orange, red, and yellow construction paper for fall leaves.  Glitter made the snow.  After, we labeled each season and wrote My Apple Tree.

Apple Centers

The top center is made from apples using Doodlecharms. I simply cut them each in half and wrote a capital letter on one side and a lower case letter on the other side. The bottom center was made using My Community. I cut the tree (four to a page) in green and then the trunk in brown. I drew apples on the tree, put numbers on the trunks, laminated them and attached velcro dots to the back.
