Apple Trees

 Back in November my preschoolers and I talked about apple harvest and they made some beautiful apple trees of their own.  I am finally getting around to sharing it with you.  I found this craft at http://www.readingconfetti.com/2013/09/easy-apple-tree-preschool-craft.html

First the kids paint a cardboard toilet paper roll brown.  I have cut slits in the top before they paint it.  The slits are the branches and make it easier to hold the "leaves".

Then the kids use their fingers to make "apples" with red paint on green tissue paper.

Once all is dry, we crumple up the tissue paper and place it on top of the toilet paper holder base. It makes a great looking apple tree.
