Toddler Nature Journal: Green Apples

The green apple tree activity will complete our apple nature journal pages.  Please visit "Nature Journal: RED Apples" and "Nature Journal: YELLOW Apples" to print off the apple nature journal pages!!

Pictured above is our green apple tree.  We simply used finger paint to paint green apples on the tree then we used a green crayon to makes swirls that represent the leaves.  If you would like to make a green apple tree please print it FREE here!  I printed ours on white card stock for durability.

Any extra green paint that was left over was used to "free paint" on additional paper! Pictured above!!

Lastly, we collected green items in a plastic shoe box container to extend our learning!

Happy Homeschooling! 

Toddler Nature Journal: YELLOW Apples

We have continued our nature journal with exploring YELLOW apples!  If you missed the start of our nature journal please read the post, "Nature Journal: RED Apples."  My daughter, who is currently 2 years and 4 months, enjoys doing these pages.  It takes only a few seconds to make the apples with finger paint.  After, I let her use the extra paint to paint yellow on a blank page which keeps her attention a bit longer!

If you would like to do this activity with your child please print off the page pictured above here.  I printed mine on white card-stock paper for durability.  Then I use yellow finger paint for the apples on the tree.  If you don't have finger paint in the house you might try a yellow crayon, pom poms, stamp pad, bingo dot, or a marker.  After, I display it on our table top easel then I add it to our 3-ring nature binder! 


To extend our learning we collected yellow items and placed them in a plastic shoe box container! Lastly I clipped the word YELLOW to the box with a yellow chip clip.

Happy Homeschooling!

Toddler Nature Journal: RED Apples

We have officially begun our first two year old nature journal!  It is my desire to complete one page per week.  This week we focused on RED apples.  I bought a large pack of white card stock paper for our nature journal pages and I will be using a three ring binder to keep it all together.  Thus far the thicker paper is working out great!  If you wanted even more durability try clear plastic page protectors!

Please enjoy a FREE copy of the "The red apple tree" nature journal page.  We used red finger paint to make apples on our tree.  You might also use a red crayon, pom poms, stamp pad, bingo dot, or a marker!  We let the paint dry then later added swirls for the leaves with a green crayon!!

Once the journal page was complete we 3-hole punched it then added it to our nature journal binder.  We also read the words together, "The red apple tree."  I pointed to each word as I read it and then she tried as well!  This is a great opportunity to practice concepts of print with her!!

This particular nature journal page correlates with our seasonal learning unit.  Therefore we have  been doing many other activities with apples.  Some of them include reading books, taking a trip to great grandpa's house to pick apples, and discovering apples through our five senses!

To extend our learning we also collected red items and placed them in a plastic shoe box container.  Using a red chip clip I attached the word "red" to the box!

Happy Homeschooling!
