The ADVENTURE: Go Apple picking (I hope you already did this-- it might be a little too late in your area now!), and then cook up a tasty apple dish
TIPS/REWARD Suggestions:
Be sure to focus on and notice your kids' creativity. Let the kids take the lead. Where will you get the apples? What kind of apple will you use? Which apple dishes will you make? Take time to really enjoy your apple creations! Sit down with the kids and savor the moment. Talk about what you like about each one, or what you could have done differently to get a better result, etc. Let the kids teach you! Encourage them to explore the different types of apples and learn about their history, what they are best used for, etc. Then let them share what they learned. Next time you go shopping let the kids amaze you with what they remember about apples, what ideas they have for new apple recipes, etc.
Now is the time to go Apple picking! Whether you go to your backyard or your favorite U-pick, picking apples as a family is TONS of FUN!
