Johnny Appleseed Craft :: Johnny Appleseed Activity

Johnny Appleseed

A creative way to teach about Johnny Appleseed and Apple Tree life cycles. Your kiddos will love creating and putting on their own personal touches on this unique twist on a Johnny Appleseed craft.

Paper lanterns are great for developing fine motor skills such as: folding, coloring, painting, gluing, cutting, listening and following directions. Embedded within this Johnny Appleseed project there are several activities to extend your students learning about the Apples.

These units are designed in a Mix and Match format. You are able to pick the pieces that you want, depending on the needs and the abilities of your students…so many possibilities.


This unit can be approached in several ways. Either as a quick Johnny Appleseed craft that will take about 90 minutes to complete. Or as long, in-depth project that will take upwards of a week or two to complete. In my classroom, creating the basic lantern will take my kiddos about 90 minutes (coloring and assembly). Adding on Apples or Apple life cycle cut-outs will take an additional 45 to 60 minute block of time. I normally have my Kiddos write about each life cycle stage or facts about Apples or Apple varieties on the back of the cut-outs. Or have your kiddos write interesting facts about Johnny Appleseed.


Included:
• Printed Johnny Appleseed lantern templates
• Apples trims and Life Cycle trims
