15 Dec The Parts of an Apple (with a FREE Printable!)

We’ve been reading the book, How to Make an Apple Pie and see the World as part of our homeschool curriculum. Of course, learning about apples was a logical part of this study, but when I told Clark and Luci that we were going to learn about, their response was: “What?! We already KNOW about apples!”

Well, surprise, surprise, they still had lots to learn! One of Luci’s favorite projects during our apple unit study was a little puzzle that I made for her.

Luci loves puzzles, so if there’s ever an opportunity to do a puzzle, she’s fully engaged. From the time she was a baby, she would sit down and work on advanced puzzles. I would wait for her to get frustrated, but instead, each time she would complete it without too much difficulty. It’s fascinating to watch these little children – you think they have these little brains, but the truth is they have incredible ability and unlimited potential!

This was a rather simplistic puzzle for Luci, but the purpose was to help her remember all of the names of the pieces of the apple. We had a great worksheet from Mama’s Learning Corner, with an apple and it’s parts to guide us.

We cut out the pieces and Luci glued them together, taking special care with the seeds to create a similar pattern to what she had seen on the worksheet. Clark even got in on the action, although not very enthusiastically. This was a little boring for his age.

Want to make one with your kiddos? I am including a FREE printable for you and your children to enjoy! There are several pieces to cut out – we used colored construction paper, but you could use felt or color in the pieces.
