Fall is a wonderful time when we can get from Mother Nature all her presents.... So, be thanks-full and tell your child to be respectful to Nature.

At the end of the class we were making a play dough apples. To make it easy for older children i made for them a card:

1. Make a red play dough ball
2. Make a smaller green play dough ball. Squeeze it from one side with fingers( make a drop) and make it flat. It will be a leaf
3. Make 3-4 yellow very skinny sausages - stack it to red ball and flat it - for very young children - avoid this step.
4. Make  brown small sausage - it will be stem.
5. Make small brown ball - it will be place of flower.
6. Connect all parts together.
7. Dry it for a few days or bake it in oven 2-3 hours. 

Fall - is time for Harvest!
