Apple playdough
and making the colour brown!
|
Pick and clean some apple leaves, stalks and twigs to add features
to childrens red and green apple dough balls. Explore what happens
when the colours are blended and make tree trunks and branches with
the results!
Print out the tree sheets and where possible laminate for durability.
Provide mark makers eg. pencils and crayons and a quantity of the apple
discs so that they can be scribed upon and positioned on the dough filled
tree in ways that make sense to the children..
