A is for apple, even with a silly smiley worm. Here’s a cute coloring page featuring 3 apples (that bottom one is so cute!). You can use this free printable to talk about the letter A, work on colors (red, green and yellow) or talk about food and fruit. You could even print out this apple coloring page and then have your preschooler practice using scissors by cutting out the apples.

Here is a quick Autumn hand print craft the kids will love! You can get a bit fancier with your version of the project by cutting out a tree trunk from construction paper, coloring more in the scene or using more/bolder colors of paint. For this quick project idea we used finger paint and simply drew a base for a tree trunk on some brown card stock (kraft paper card stock). For an added touch, color the grass below, add a cute birdie or even some apples.
The tree above we just made again because the last time we tried making this project, the paint we used didn’t show up every well (I think it was finger paint). So I wanted to show you a new version. You can use whatever paint you like, but thicker craft paint shows up better. Paper cut out hand prints are a great alternative too.
Apples not only make for some yummy snacks, they are also inspiration for a wide array of arts, crafts, games and more. Have you tried stamping with apples? Or maybe you want to practice colors with red, green and yellow apples. Have an apple tasting day and explore the different flavors. There are so many fun apple themed projects you can do with your preschooler.
