What do you make with apples game

This was a cute game leftover from the previous story time leader when I took my job. She cut out pictures of different things we eat that are made from apples and turned them into feltboard pieces. I ask the kids to list as many things as they can think of and I put the pieces on the feltboard as they mention them.

Here is the list of apple items I use:

• Candied apples
• Apple pie
• Apple sauce
• Apple jelly
• Apple cider
• Apple crisp
• Apple juice
• Apple turnover

Leaves

The leaves are dropping from the trees, (flutter fingers up and down)
Yellow, brown, and red (flutter fingers up and down)
They patter softly like the rain (tap fingers on lap)
One landed on my head (tap head)

STORYTIME: Spooky Storytime

Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman - Follows the format of the Russian Folktale "The Turnip."

Aaaarrgghh! Spider! by Lydia Monks - A little spider wants to show a family that he would be the best pet ever. But the family really ain't hearing it!

Boo, Bunny by Kathryn O. Galbraith - Really wonderful illustrations and artful use of text. Lots of sound effects that can be used, a fun read aloud.

Boo to You by Lois Ehlert- I just love her style. A funny book featuring 2 mice who don't want a black cat around. The collage art in this book features all autumn colors, sometimes using pictures of different gourds and pumpkins. Have the kids look a the images and see if they can identify some of the vegetables and objects she uses in the collage. Possible follow up craft could be make a collage using leaves and other outdoor materials. Bring some of the gourds featured int he book and let the kids handle them.
