Thanksgiving Apple Fun for Kids

I confess to an almost cult-like devotion to apples. Living in Michigan, they're a cash crop. But it goes deeper. Apples are as American as Uncle Sam. Gatherings in the US often include an apple treat. Apples are also the perfect theme for fall lessons. Here's an interactive, cross-curricular apple unit with crafts, recipes, science, art, creative writing, math, social studies, practical life, field trips, community-builders even a party. Perfect for Thanksgiving, too.  I've added free printable apple-themed lesson plans and worksheets for activity extenders. Preschool Apple Unit, Cross-Curricular Hands-on Crafts, Activities, Recipes
