A is for Apple!


Our theme this week at Doodlebug is APPLES! Aa is for apple and apples are the perfect way to jump into fall -even if it is 100 degrees outside ;).

Here are some fun activities you can do at home to incorporate our theme into your week-

Family Fun Night: Have some Apples, Ants on a log, or Apricot pork chops with apple pie and watch one of these movies-
Aladdin, Aristocats, Alice in Wonderland, or Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Go on an A hunt: Search your house for things that start with A (try to find items with the short a sound). Put them in a bag and bring them to school, we would love to see them!

Make your own Applesauce (crockpot recipe):
This makes enough for 4 people. If you would like to freeze or can, use more apples.

--4 large apples, skinned ,cored, and cut in quarters

--juice from 1 lemon

--1/2 tsp cinnamon

--1 tsp vanilla

--1 T brown sugar

--1/4 cup water


Skin, core, and cut your apples into quarters.
Plop the pieces into your crockpot. Add the juice from the lemon, and the water. Pour in the vanilla (I used imitation--we were out of the good stuff), and add the cinnamon and brown sugar.

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. When the apples are super tender, mash with a potato masher or large fork.
