National Johnny Appleseed Day

Today is the day to teach the kids the story about Johnny Appleseed and have fun with arts and crafts. Every year on March 11th is National Johnny Appleseed Day, we remember a man who made apple (and pear) trees bloom across the nation. The day celebrates a kindly legend who lived by sage teachings and labored to bring the shade of fruit trees across much of the United States.

So some ideas to celebrate this man on the wonderous day are: eat apples, cut apples in half and discuss the workings of the apple, arts and crafts, read stories , and just plain enjoy celebrating this day.
