Apple Art

We had tons of fun using apples in different ways during our apple unit! Wee sliced apples two different ways and did apple printing. It was a fantastic process art activity for our students and they really enjoyed it. It's always so much fun to watch their creativity bloom. We mixed cinnamon in with our paint to add an extra sensory experience to the activity. Boy did our room smell yummy!

Here's how our finished apple prints turned out.

We experimented with gravity and the laws of physics with our apple roll painting. We borrowed a slide from the playroom to serve as a ramp for our apples. We painted the outside of the apples, red yellow and green. Then we took turns rolling the apples down the paper covered ramp. Wow! what a great time. It was a bit messy but well worth it.
