4.0 out of 5 stars Presents a bushel of apple projects appropriate for children, August 25, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: An Apple a Day!: Over Twenty Apple Projects for Kids (Paperback)

This book presents a number of apple projects appropriate for older preschoolers and young school-aged children. Projects include, but are not limited to eating/cooking. Some of the projects include printing with apples, juggling with apples, baking an apple pizza, creating apple wreaths, and making applesauce brownies. This is an excellent resource for teachers to use for an apple or autumn theme. Projects are simple and do not include extensive time or materials. This is one of a series of project books that also includes TOOTH TRUTH (dental projects), IT'S A PUMPKIN SHELL (pumpkin projects), and PUDDLE JUMPERS (weather projects)
