Apples are my favourite fruit. I don’t know why, maybe it’s their crunchy texture, sweet flavour and pretty colour. My kids love apples too, especially when they pick them themselves in apple season. They just taste so much better than the supermarket apples and we make a point of going every year.
In Australia our apple season is in Autumn (from March through to May), but in the Northern hemisphere it’s apple season NOW and Pinterest is buzzing with creative and fun apple themed crafts and activities for kids.
If you need apple templates, we have an open-ended printable set that can be incorporated into or used as a base for any apple project.
Today I’m sharing some of my favourites from bloggers around the world.
