A great activity to
do with young children is picking berries, apples, pears,
and pumpkins. After harvesting you could make a simple recipe
with children like blueberry muffins, apple crisp, or just
enjoy the fruit!
Fun
activities to do with children
Plant an apple seed in a paper cup. Have your child record
his observations by drawing a picture.
Prepare a special snack using cubed apples topped with peanut
butter and a raisin. Serving with a toothpick makes a child
feel that its a special treat!
