What you need

One whole apple, paper, and a large child-appropriate crayon.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Look at the apple together and describe its color and shape.
  2. Draw an apple and add marks for any details you notice.
  3. Compare the picture with the apple and add another detail your child chooses.

Adult checks for allergies, handles the apple, and stays beside the child; do not taste during the activity.
