September is Apple month!

We've spent a great deal of September learning about apples and centering a lot of our activities around them. Since a couple of you have mentioned you like getting recipes and ideas from the blog, here are couple of Jack and Maren's favorite books and snacks from "Apple Month!"


JACK'S FAVORITE APPLE BOOKS:
Ten Apples Up On Top by Theo LeSieg
Up, Up, Up It's Apple Picking Time by Jody Shapiro
Out and About the Apple Orchard by Diane Mayr
10 Red Apples by Pat Hutchins

MARSY'S FAVORITE APPLE BOOKS:
Cutie Pie by Matthew Kempler
Apples, Apples by Saline Yoon

OUR FAVORITE APPLE SNACKS:

Apple Smiles:
Core and Cut an apple into wedges. Spread slices with peanut butter. Line the rims with marshmallows.



Apple Trees:
Use green food coloring to tint vanilla frosting green. Spread over a nilla waffer. Place green M&M's on top for the apples. Use a pretzel stick placed vertically under the nilla wafer for the tree trunk.
