Apple tear project

I got this idea from one of my favorite Montessori blogs The Wonder Years. She has great ideas for art, counting, and alphabet. Check her out sometime!!

What you need:

*strips of red constructions paper
*a brown stem (I was shocked to find out that I had no brown in all my stacks and stack of paper...)
*a green leaf
*paper plate
*glue



The kids then rip the red strips into pieces and then glue them onto the paper plate. (My boys found it easier to put the glue straight onto the plate and then stick the paper on.) When they are done with the red paper, glue on the stem and the leaf!
