Trace your family history with beautiful imagery using our R49133 Apple Family Tree!

The kit comes with 24 trees and accompanying apple stickers for every student in your class! Remove the stickers and place onto the tree. Kids can cut out small photos of their family members, write the names of their family members or decorate the apples with drawings representing their relatives.

The Apple Tree Family Tree is a great way to get students thinking about their family histories, where they come from and key vocabulary words to describe the members of their family (i.e. aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparent, etc…)

Share students’ work by inviting parents to visit for a special Family Tree Celebration. Students can take turns explaining their family tree to the rest of the class. You can even coordinate this activity to occur during parent-teacher night!

Frame your students’ artwork before they make it! R15287 Borders Paper features a variety of printed borders with blank interiors for students to illustrate their artwork.

We asked students in a class to draw themselves and their favorite things. We got back some beautiful and colorful drawings! Each of the Borders Papers represents a historical era or culture through the thematic illustrated frames, so they can be used as supplements to social studies lessons.

These two friends drew pictures of each other!

This picture tells a story! When asked about the picture, this student said it was silly because the friends were getting rained on even though there was sun on the other side! Use Borders Paper to frame short stories, poems, even photographs!
