Soooo… you may have noticed that we have gone a little APPLE MAD here recently.. well it IS apple season.. and apple crafts are such a lovely way to celebrate Autumn….
To help guide you through this article, I have split it into two sections – Apple Crafts for Preschoolers and Apple Crafts for kids. The first is meant to be a little simpler and more straight forward. BUT of course kids of all age groups can pick and choose between the different activities. They much need a little more help!
Let’s take a peak at these lovely fall crafts today.
Now, without further ado… here are the fantastic Apple Crafts & Activities.
Apple Crafts for Preschoolers
Let’s begin with the wonderful set of kids that are PRESCHOOLERS. When my kids where younger – ie toddler and preschooler age – they had an abundant love for crafting and getting stuck in. They wanted to have a go at everything and anything.. however their fine motor skills and dexterity were not always at a level that enabled them to “keep up”.
Finding the right sort of craft for preschoolers, is rewarding for both the child and the adult. They can enjoy the process as much as the end result. Here are some great Apple Crafts for Preschoolers, that will hopefully delight both children and adults alike. Sometimes it is hard to get the “age” exactly right, in which case a little assitance from the adult is called for. But I do hope you enjoy the following apple crafts for toddlers. These would work really well as part of some autumn infant lesson plans.

Apple Crafts for Kids & Grown Ups
Time for more fun apple crafts for older kids – this time we are looking at elementary school children (primary school in the UK) and upwards!
The apple crafts for kids section is really a apple crafts for “all”. Some may be appropriate for younger kids too, especially if you enjoy crafting TOGETHER. But don’t be tempted to “take over” from them. Teehee.
Anyway, everyone works at a different levels of dexterity and fine motor skills, and you may also enjoy some of the apple crafts for the preschool section (I certainly do)! I hope you enjoy them all.
