Apple Head Grannies

(This activity is a great way to transition from an apple theme to Grandparent's Day, which is the first Sunday after Labor Day)

Peel the apple and leave the stem at the top. Tie a string to the stem. Hang in a dry area like a window for a couple of weeks. The apples will shrink and wrinkle up like little old ladies. You can make a body by putting the heads on small bottles( shampoo, dish soap etc.) Make a dress out of a piece of fabric. You can even use a small paper clip to make glasses. If you don't want the apples to be that brown then dip them in lemon juice first.
