Lined paper is the only thing you will need!

Students can write their opinion about Johnny or about apples. Students can research Johnny Appleseed or apples and write about them. You can also pair the craft with a writing piece.

Then, display the crafts with a butcher paper apple tree or my Apple Tree Craft. If you use Johnny Appleseed on your bulletin board, you can make it say “Pickin’ Apples with Johnny Appleseed”. An adult can cut them out and students can trace their own pieces. You can xerox the other template onto white cardstock. One version of the template allows you to print right onto colored cardstock or construction paper. The craft comes with a photo of the completed craft, step by step instructions to complete the craft and easy to use templates. Once all of the crafts are complete, the bulletin board always looks so festive and colorful. It makes for a great study on the letter a (for apple) or j (for Johnny). I prefer to use it in the fall when we learn about the life cycle of apples. You can use the Johnny Appleseed Craft all year long. Pretty interesting! Appleseed Craft Ideas All of this is true, except that the tin pan was actually a tin hat that he also used for cooking his food. The legend of Johnny Appleseed states that he wore a tin pan on his head and walked around in thread-bare clothing and bare feet. We also talk about why the craft has a tin pan on its head. HERE is a video you can play of it online. We like to read Johnny Appleseed by Lori Haskins Houran. This stretches beyond apples of course, but it makes for a fun story that the kids really enjoy. I celebrate with my kids to share how important it is to grow more plants in our communities. He helped spread apple tree growth across the U.S., mainly in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. He was a missionary and is considered by many to be one of the first American conservationists. John Chapman became a legend during his own lifetime and was widely known for his conservation efforts, specifically when it came to apple trees.
