Looking for creative apple activities for your preschooler or toddler?
Then we have just what you’re looking for. This post is all about apple-themed activities that you can do with your toddler or preschooler. I’ve included a nice variety in the kinds of activities in this list.
What kind of activities should you do?
I love introducing kids to different kinds of activities. It keeps play interesting and keeps boredom far away.
If you want to learn more about how to choose the right activity for your child, be sure to read this post.
I’m also a big fan of really getting to know your child and observing what kind of activities they are interested in, and making sure to cater to those interests. (I find it makes an activity’s success rate go way up!)
So, I’ve mixed in some arts and crafts, sensory, and even have a gross motor apple activity for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy and please share!
