Apples

One of the snacks today was apples. As simple as they are, the daycare kiddos always seem to think these are just about the best snack out there. Today we talked about some sensory concepts using apples.


We also did an exercise where we visualized an apple tree growing inside us. How big and tall and strong it would be, and how big and tall and strong it would make us. This was tied into our nutrition discussion as well. 

For sensory, the kids talked about their apples being sweet, and not spicy. They were cold, but could be hot if they were in a pie. And I've lost my train of thought because now I want to bake an apple pie... lol

The Apple Orchard

We visited the apple orchard today and picked fresh apples.


Apples are so symbolic of Autumn and I love having them around this time of the year.


I'll be slicing most of these up and dehydrating them over the next 20 hours (in my oven) or so to use for my wreath, to make decorations, and keep some for snacks.
