Let’s make a paper apple Card!

We’ve been growing up listening to people telling the phrase, “An Apple A Day, Keeps The Doctor Away.”. But funnily enough, we don’t consume apples enough. Apples are one of the most delicious fruits in the world and there are around 7,500 varieties of apples grown. It was originated in Central Asia and people think of it as an American fruit, but it actually is not. The scientific name of an apple tree is Malus Domestica.

Even though apples look dense, 25% of it is air and hence it floats in water. Apples are extremely nutritious, healthy for the heart, helps in preventing cancer, improves our concentration level and helps us to stay fit. We cannot avoid apples from our life. Let us encourage children as well, to consume apples. To make apple fun, we can engage children in a fun activity by creating paper apples. This can keep them busy, bring out their talents and will help them learn more about apples.  As a reminder for us to consume apples on a daily basis, lets create fun paper apples!
