How we made the Torn Paper Apple Trees

Glue on the Grass

They glued on the green hill the apple tree would be. The green paper was cut out and ready for them to put on the blue construction paper.

They put the glue on the back of the green paper and then placed in on the bottom of the blue paper.

  1. So fun! I especially love the falling apples. It really is AMAZING what they get out of books. I’ll tell my little miss something, and I quite often hear in response “like the book mama”. She is always referencing her books 🙂

  2. I am so happy to have come across your blog! I absolutely love it. My daughter is turning 3 in Nov. and we have started home schooling. It’s so much fun! Look forward to using your packs with her, thank you! Great, great work!
