Apple Unit-Bringing Apples for Show-and-Tell & Making Homemade Applesauce

Everyone brought an apple for show-and-tell

The children told the class about their apple. They described the color, size, shape, and parts of the apple.

One of our preschoolers has an apple tree in his yard. He brought many apples that he picked from his apple tree. He counted them and discovered that there were 10 apples.

Some of the kids brought 2 apples to share

We started making applesauce

First we cored each apple

Look, you can see right through it!

Then we peeled each apple

Each preschooler used a safe spreader to cut their apples into pieces

After the apples were chopped into small pieces the kids poured them into the pot

 

They added water

Then added sugar

Everyone gave it a stir

During naptime we cooked our apples, mashed them up and had them for afternoon snack time.

What a yummy snack that was fun to make!
