Johnny Appleseed Week!

o

Here at AOHV, we loved learning all about "Johnny Appleseed and Apples"! This week we enjoyed playing hats ,having parades, stamping with apples, cooking with apples, and making and playing with apple cinnamon play dough.  The children got to use all five senses when exploring with apples. They got to see, hear, touch, taste, and smell.  The play-dough was everyone's favorite this week and they even got to take some home to add more fun. Some fun facts we all learned about Johnny Chapman (Appleseed). 

*Planting apples or pear trees were a way to claim their land with the government

* The settlers would sell seedlings to people of the wilds of Ohio and Indiana

* Johnny Appleseed planted orchards with 50 apple trees
