Instructions:

Parent: Cut the apple in half and core out the seeds.

Kiddo: Spread the peanut butter on the cut, flat surface of the apple. Arrange the chocolate chips to make a fun face and use the other half of the apple to cut out parts for the face.

Speech and Language Time:

This could be a great activity to do with a kiddo who needs to work on pragmatic (social) language skills. Have them create the happy face and ask them what makes someone happy? What are three things that make him/her happy? Use it as a time to talk about feelings and make different faces, have them guess what emotion you are trying to display.
