5 SENSES FOR PREK

I love super simple science activities that you can set up in just minutes but offer a ton of learning opportunities. Plus we love science experiments that keep kids engaged and excited. Fall is an awesome time to explore apples and all the different varieties of apples.

Do you regularly buy just one or two types of apples when you go to the store? I tend to, but I have noticed just how many varieties of apples are now available. I am always in a rush and I never stop to think about trying a new one since everyone likes what I usually pick out. Let’s mix it up.
