September 26th is Johnny Appleseed day. This year it falls on a Saturday, so we will be learning and celebrating all week leading up to the 26th. With all of our kids doing “school work” this year, I’m looking forward to celebrating with lots of fun activities, printables and crafts.
I have gathered some great {free} printables, activities, crafts and more for you today! I hope you enjoy looking through and planning how you will celebrate Johnny Appleseed this year!
