Take an autumn drive to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and gather apples from a tree, or buy fresh apples. They are one of the healthiest snacks available.
Where are all the apple blossoms? To discover where an apple blossom goes cut an apple across the center. 
What you see has been called a star, but look closer and see the outlines of the petals. Cut around the petals and make a raised stamp to use to make an apple blossom picture.
Apple Bobbin’ is a fun game due to the floatability of apples. The apples are placed in a tub filled with water and the object of the game is to get the apple out of the tub without using your hands. If someone asks, “Why do apples float?”Apples have many air spaces for the matter is packed very lightly. A carrot on the other hand will sink, because it lacks air spaces and the matter is packed tightly.
