    Posted by  ·  April 27, 2009

    Cut out and hot glue leaves to toothpicks or the stem of the apples.

    The apples won’t last as long if they are pierced with a toothpick, so when possbible glue to the stem of the apple.

      I adore this idea!! I would love to use this idea for a traveling theme for our class. Would it be possible to have a template of the leaves that I can reword to fit our theme? Just thought I would ask. Great idea and so simple!

      Thanks for the idea and printable leaves-so cute. We're doing a fruit tray for our teachers tomorrow and a bowl of apples with these leaves will be right in the center. I think it'll look neat!

      Fun! This brought back such memories of when I was a teacher! I did the same thing for each of my students on their birthdays, except I wrote their names and "happy birthday" on the paper leaf. I think they liked getting apples on their special day, even though they were 18 (I taught high school Physics) - they carried their apples around to show them off, silly things! There was a spell when good, large apples were just impossible to get at our local fruit stand so I gave out pears, and the students were politely appreciative but it was just not the same. Thanks for this fun walk memory lane for me!
