Maybe offer 3 different clothespins and one apple. Then, show many examples of matching the colors. No problem! Instead use this activity for fine motor strengthening at first. What if your child isn’t ready to match colors? The most basic way to play includes matching the clothespin to the apple of the same color. These mini clothespins made the perfect apple stems for this activity! I’ll admit, I can’t walk through the aisles lately without grabbing at least one item for myself lately! The paper colors I chose matched the colors of the mini sets of clothespins that I found in the back to school supplies.
Instead of tracing the apple pattern onto the papers over and over again, I folded the colored paper a few times and simply cut around the pattern while holding it in place. I have tried mixing in a little black to my crayon red pigment but all I get. I made an apple shaped pattern out of a scrap piece of cardstock (sometimes I use old file folders). Hey, I would like to lam a board with a deep sort of candy apple red pigment. If I was not laminating the set, I would have used all cardstock. These included both cardstock and regular colored paper. Rest assured though, because whether you choose to go with Kandy Apple Red over Solar Gold, or over Orion Silver, or over the countless other options, the result will be a custom paint. To prep these Candy Apple Color Matching, I collected different colored papers. Candy Apple Red Paint isn't a color, but a range of colors If you've ever seen a House of Kolor Color Chart, you noticed the amount of options to choose from.

At the beginning of the school year, my 3 year-olds are a little more on the rough side with the stuff in our preschool classroom. I plan to laminate the colorful apples before introducing this activity to my preschoolers. Seriously, I prepped 4 independent learning centers for my classroom in just minutes. I couldn’t love how simple this activity is to set up. When I came across the cutest mini clothespins recently, I immediately thought of apple stems! Creating this Candy Apple Color Matching activity couldn’t be easier! How far in advance can you make candy apples?Īpples can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.Creating learning activities for preschoolers does not have to take much time or energy! Keeping things simple is where it’s at! As I begin prepping my preschool classroom for the beginning of the school year, I have been collecting supplies that can be used multiple times throughout the school year. It happens rather quickly, so start checking after about 10 minutes. The candy coating will harden as the apples cool on the baking sheet. It’s also important that the apples are at room temperature-cold apples will cause the sugar syrup to harden too fast. To do this, rinse them under hot water, then rub dry with a textured kitchen towel. This ensures that the candy coating sticks to the apple instead of sliding off.
