The Best Student Planner

How Many Stars: [rating=4] For whatever reason, teachers and professors derive some twisted pleasure from overloading you with course work. I’m willing to wager it stems from a psychological condition rooted deep in a person’s psyche. Or maybe it’s revenge from their student days. Hard to say. Either way, more likely than not, you have loads …

Top 12 Android Apps for Preschoolers

With Zane we didn’t do preschool, he really loved learning on his own. Really he still does. Zarek on the other hand is not excited about learning his ABCs. It is funny how each boy is so different. These apps are some that Zane enjoyed and some that I’m trying to use to encourage learning …

How to Use Google for a School Report

Zane had his first school project. We were excited. He brought home his big green paper and the instructions. He had to choose a frog to draw, share 3-5 facts on and share photos of. Luckily earlier that week we visited the Portland Aquarium and saw all their great frog there. The best part of doing the …

Frozen Crepes for Quick Breakfasts

It’s the day! Zane will be going to school today and I will be sending him off with a quick and easy breakfast I made last week. Yep that’s right I made these last week and threw them in the freezer as I knew making breakfast would be really hard to fit into photos, tears, …

A Craft a Day

A Craft a Day: A is for Apple

Welcome back to a new edition of A Craft A Day!

If you are new to A Craft a Day

A Craft a Day gives you five activities that you can enjoy with your kids, one for each day of the week.  Most of these activities work well for preschoolers, but you may be able to adapt them for your toddler. If you want to learn more about the basics of A Craft A Day you can find them at a Craft a Day: Coming Back Soon.

I will post the crafts on Saturdays so you can use the weekend to get any supplies that you may need.

Are you Supermom?

Now I’m not supermom and I don’t expect you to be either. We don’t always get to each activity, sometimes life is just too busy.

Hopefully you may try one or two of these activities with me and my kids! You don’t have to do every single one. You don’t have to be doing preschool with your child.

I just hope to give you a resource for some great fun with your kids!

The Crafts:

  • Apple Smiles – Apple smiles are a fun and easy snack to create with your preschooler.

  • Armor of God – For this project we printed out each sheet. I created a head and legs from construction paper. Zane colored the sheets, put a face on the head and helped me cut out the shield. I cut out the rest of the pieces and had him tape them all together. This was tons of fun.
  • Apple Science – I cut open an apple and we counted the carpels and seed together. Every apple has 5 carpels and each carpel should have 2 seeds.
  • Apple Prints – After counting I put some paint on a plant and let both boys use the apples as stamps. Zane just loved swirling the paint.

  • Awesome Apple – I know another color and cut worksheet. But what was fun was we were just teaching Zane about Super Heroes and this happen to be the activity I planned for the day.

Supplies: Apples, Peanut Butter, Mini Marshmallows, Scissors, Crayons or Pens,  Acrylic Paint or Finger Paint, Craft Paper
