Apples!!

For my primary literature class this week, we read "Apples to Oregon" by Deborah Hopkinson

It's a fun tall-tale adventure as "Delicious" treks cross country with her apple-tree crazed Papa.  My kiddos loved the book!

Our project was making apple-shaped suncatchers.

I cut out a simple apple shape out of red paper, with the center open.


Then, I took clear contact paper and covered the apple.  We flipped it to the sticky side and used colored scraps of tissue paper to fill it in.

I covered this side with contact paper too, to make it more durable.

We punched a hole and hung them in our sunny window.

Another free activity!  (I had all the supplies already)
