            Here is a photo of 
            our classroom apple tree.  I used brown butcher paper for the 
            trunk  
            and white paper for the tree that the children sponge painted green.  
            I then added  
            laminated apples with the children's names on them.  
               
                  
              
                  
                  
            Apple Faces
                  
            I had taken the children's pics holding a giant red apple 
            (with hole cut out of center)  
            up to their face. I had planned on printing these out and adding 
            them to our tree but  
            didn't get time to do it... maybe next year. The giant apple was 
            made out of colored poster boards. 
                  
            Cut a large apple out of red tag board.  
            Put a leaf and stem on the top.  
            Cut a hole in the middle of the apple for the kids faces to go in. 
            Take photos and you can use the caption

            PICK OF THE CROP" 
                  
                        
                  
Classroom Apple Tree 
II
Use a large piece of bulletin board paper. 
Draw a tree with branches. 
  Children can use an apple shaped sponge or use
paint and a brush to put apples 
 on the tree or cut red paper apples for each
child.   When paint is dry write the 
 children's names on their apples.  Hang apple tree art in the classroom 
 or
on a bulletin board. Add their picture to the apples. 
   
              
Tissue Paper Apple Bulletin Board
Allow the child to cover a paper plate with glue,
the child may place small pieces of 
 red tissue paper on it. When the tissue
paper has dried, trim along the edge of the 
 paper plate. Use green construction
paper to make a stem. You can make green pipe 
 cleaners into small worms, either
on the apples or coming out of the top of the apple. 
 Children usually think the
worm is very funny.

Apple Of My Eye Tree
 
Make a 
              bulletin
              board with a tree on it. Hang an apple from each branch with each 
              child's 
 name on
              it. Title it "You are the apple of my eye." Mount red apple 
              silhouettes 
 against black
              and white backgrounds in the visual stimulation area.  
   
               
The 
Apple of My Eye
I use this 
bulletin board during Welcome Circle. I have each of the children’s names 
 on an apple (made from a heart shape of red construction paper, and a 
green leaf). 
 I show each apple to the class and ask the child whose name is on the 
apple to raise 
 their hand when they see it. I place them on the bulletin board and the 
children love to 
 point out their names throughout the day. Later in the year I will hold 
 up a name and ask another child to tell me whose name it is. 
              
                
              Preschool Is Apple-Solutely Fun

 Cover your bulletin board with blue cloth. Make                                           a tree and a basket with apples that have 
 each of
the children's names on them. You can also add a sun, clouds, a few birds, and 
 some
cute worms--anything cute could be added to the sky and ground. 
  Above as
the heading put:  "Preschool is Apple-solutely Fun!"
