An Apple-Themed Playdate

By Jenn Giurgevich

Have your kids been asking to have a play date at your house? Looking for a fun activity to do inside on these cooler days? Hosting an apple-themed play date is easy and a lot of fun for the kids, especially this time of year when apples are aplenty. If you’ve been apple picking recently, then you may even have more apples than you know what to do with! They’ll go fast with this activity, and the kids will likely want to dip their apples for days afterwards.

Here’s what to do: Set up an apple dipping station at snack time. Cut up some apples (any type goes) and put out a variety of dips and toppings for kids to choose from.

Dips:

Nut butters (e.g. peanut, almond, cashew)
Nutella
Marshmallow fluff
Cream cheese
Caramel
Icing
Honey

Toppings:

Sprinkles
Shredded coconut
Mini chocolate chips
Raisins
Crushed Oreos or graham wafers
Toffee bits

Here’s to playing apple-y ever after!
