Candy Apple Making
To make a caramel apple for kids, start by washing and drying crisp apples thoroughly. Remove the stems and insert a popsicle stick into the top of each apple. Unwrap soft caramel candies and place them in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of milk. Microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is smooth. Dip each apple into the melted caramel, using a spoon to help coat it evenly. Place the apples on a lined baking sheet and let them cool in the refrigerator until the caramel sets. For extra fun, roll the caramel-covered apples in toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips before chilling. Enjoy these sweet treats with the little ones!
Apple Seed Counting
Use the apple seed counting printable. Grab a taste safe activity filler like chocolate chips or raisins for kids under 3. For kids over 3, you can use a non-edible sensory filler like black beans. Put the filler in a bowl and have the child place each one on the printout and count the seeds as they go. For older kids, you can have them count the number of seeds on the paper and then pour, scoop, or blindfolded pick out the same number from the bowl! There are countless ways to make this one easier or harder depending on the child’s age and fluency with counting.
