5 Senses Activities Apple Craft Apple Activities With Five Senses

This apple head craft activity is a super-fun way to reinforce the 5 senses, and fits in perfectly with your apple theme for fall.

If your kiddos are like mine, I know that they will really enjoy designing one. Results are rather hilarious, so you'll hear: "Can I please do another one?!"

TEACHER COMMENTS:

• "This resource was fantastic for my students and something that I will be using every year."
• "This is adorable, fun, and so easy to use! My students and I love this resource!!"
• "My kids love, love, loved making these cute little apples and practicing using the five senses!"
• "My students loved this activity so much! It was absolutely amazing!"

I’ve included a “Fun With The Five Senses” apple head poster for your display.

There's a huge assortment of facial feature options.

Simply select a few of your favorites.

Children select a nose, mouth, and some ears & eyes, then glue them to their apple head. (There’s also a pattern for a stem and leaf).

Besides the facial features, I’ve also included patterns for a hair bow/bow tie, glasses, a mask, and a selection of mustaches.

I give the option of adding dangling legs with cute sneakers. (Accordion folding paper is a great fine motor skill, which will help strengthen finger muscles.)

To reinforce the 5 senses, there’s a set of labels students cut and glue to their apple head as well; or they can simply label their creation.

TEACHER COMMENT:

• "A perfect way to blend fine motor with the five senses!"

Besides the craft activity, laminate a set of apples, along with 3 or 4 facial feature options, plus a set of labels, to be used as a “design an apple head” independent center activity.

Allow children to take a photo of their completed creation, then make small thumbnails of each child’s apple head and put them in a class-made, picture booklet. I’ve provided a cover and album page for this as well.

Because there’s such a huge variety of facial feature options, laminate some and have little ones sort them according to which sense they go with.

I’ve included a colorful sorting mat for this.

Children can also use the pieces to create patterns: AB-AB, ABC-ABC etc.

There’s also a BW worksheet, where children cut & glue the facial feature to one of the matching 5 senses.

Completed projects look adorable suspended from the ceiling, or used as a border for the top of a hallway wall.

TEACHER COMMENTS:

• "This was a hit! I let my students create their own apples so that they were not all the same. I displayed them in the classroom and received many compliments."
• "I absolutely love this resource! It has been the perfect addition to my classroom."

I’m Diane from Teach With Me, hoping your students enjoy practicing the 5 senses with an apple head.
