Fold multiple large sheets of red or green construction paper into accordions. Draw a life-size apple shape onto the top of the paper accordion, making the sides of the apple flush with the folds of the accordion. Cut around the apple, leaving the sides uncut. Then unfold the paper, revealing a chain of apples. Tape several chains together to form a lengthy chain that can then be hung above a chalkboard, window or door. You may wish to have students write their names on their own apple in the chain.
Cut out three large (dinner plate size) apple shapes from red construction paper. Glue brown stems on their tops. Cut a small "bite" out of the second apple and a large "bite" out of the third apple. Cut out an apple core shape from white- or cream-colored paper and glue black paper seeds on the inside of the core. Then hang the four apples in order to create a humorous display of an apple being eaten in successive stages.
From a large piece of red or green construction paper, cut out a large apple shape. Cut out a stem from brown construction paper and glue it to the top of the apple. Laminate the apple. Using a permanent marker, write out your classroom rules or other important class information on the apple and hang it in a prominent place in your classroom.
Cut multiple apples in half horizontally. Give each student his own apple half, nontoxic art paints, and construction paper or some other thick paper. Have the students dip the apples in the paint and then press them, seed side down, on the paper, creating star-shaped designs. You may wish to ask the students to create an apple-print border around the paper and then write one of the lessons of the day inside the border.
