Apple Muppets

Knowing that we just went apple picking, a teacher friend pulled out several “apple”-related workbook pages for the kids.

Thank you, Melissa!

So the day after we picked apples, we made apple puppets, which Mara (ignorantly) insisted were “apple muppets.” The kids colored their puppets–or, ‘scuse me–their muppets, and Mara was able to cut most of her muppet out by herself. She also helped apply the glue and stick the pieces on the bag.

Micah was fascinated with the glue–I didn’t want him to become too adept at the use of scissors and glue–so I did most of his myself, while he watched.

After the apple muppets were finished, Mara completed a worksheet of apples–one apple for every letter of the alphabet. She had to fill in the missing letters, and she did great! A couple of her letters were backwards, but she is learning, one step at a time.
