RELATED OUR FAVORITE APPLE BOOKS TO READ THIS FALL Other Fun Apple Activities We’ve Enjoyed We got to talk about not only the parts of an apple, but what a diagram was, and some new vocabulary.

Glue apple part labels to identify each part of your apple.

We glued to core, then the top and bottom of the apple, seeds, leaf, stem (to be fair, we just drew the stem).

Try to allow for some freedom in order of the parts they choose to glue next and in which order, but encourage them to use your diagram as their guide.

Starting with the core, allow children to glue their apple parts to their paper.

I intentionally did not include boxes around the words, rather just spaced them out a lot since we are just learning to use scissors properly and let him free cut his words out.

I let my son use these to practice using scissors.

You can cut these out ahead of time to save time, or allow children to cut them out.

Make sure each child has labels for their apple parts: flesh, skin, core, seeds, stem, leaf (included in printable for your convenience).

For a classroom, or multiple children, I HIGHLY recommend making your own diagram ahead of time so it can be displayed for all the children to see as a model.

I actually just set it up not glued for my son and he picked up each piece to glue down.

Set up a finished example for children to model their own diagram from.

You should cut the apple in half horizontally to make room for the core and seeds.

To make it simpler for you, I’ve drawn all the parts of an apple you need here so all you need to do is download and trace to make your own. I free-cut a red circle, then trimmed it in half and “shaped” it a little bit for our apple.

Color is totally optional, though.īefore we got started, I prepped this activity by cutting out all the “parts” to our apple.

We used brown so we could draw the stem rather than cutting out a tiny little stem.

Glue sticks would have been less messy, but since this was a one-on-one activity over here, we didn’t mind the extra mess. We used liquid glue for the extra muscle control of squeezing the bottle and controlling where the glue went.

Glue sticks or liquid school glue will work.

We decided not to use white copy paper so that our apple core was also white to allow it to stand out.

We used an off-white piece of card stock we had on hand, but any non-apple color should work.

Red, Green, Black, and White construction paper.

Parts of An Apple Cut and Paste ActivityĪdmittedly, the inspiration for this activity came from an evening of searching for apple activities on Pinterest. This post contains affiliate links, for which I will earn a commission should you make purchases.

And having pre-planned themes for the year is incredibly helpful. I like it because it provides a simple and manageable structure for me to start from when it comes to planning our activities. My youngest isn’t quite ready for all the material, and my oldest is much farther advanced than most of it, but still enjoys many of the suggested activities to reinforce what he already knows. In case you missed it, we’re using Busy Toddler’s Playing Preschool curriculum as a loose guide for our home school preschool at least for now. And we don’t wasted a good fine motor opportunity around here! We used this apple parts activity to not only learn and talk about the parts of an apple, but also to practice scissor cutting skills and glue skills since much of it is a cut and paste activity.

I’ve already shared some of our favorite apple books for preschoolers this Fall and today I’m sharing a fun parts of an apple activity we did during our apple unit plus some of the other activities we tried during our study. A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that we had begun trying to introduce and implement some flexible home school preschool rhythms around here and that we were starting out with a fun and simple preschool apple unit.
