Ten Apples Up On Top!

One of the books we read this week to go with our apples theme was Ten Apples Up On Top!. Caleb just loved the book and asked me to read it multiple times during the week. I wanted to come up with some type of craft to go along with the book.

I took an empty egg carton and red paint and we made "apples". It was a beautiful day to be outside so we brought our supplies to the front porch, donned our smocks, and started painting!



After the paint dried, I cut out the individual "apples".


Then we started acting out the book. We counted out the apples and put them on our heads. Caleb had the most fun running around the house, holding the apples on top of his head and shouting, "The mop! The mop! We can not let our apples drop!".
