September Crafts for Kindergarten
September is such a fun month in kindergarten! Between settling into classroom routines, learning classmates’ names, practicing early math skills, and beginning fall themes like apples, there are so many opportunities to add a little creativity to the school day.
These September crafts for kindergarten are simple, kindergarten-friendly ways to combine seasonal fun with skills you’re already teaching. In this post, I’m going to share apple crafts, name activities, counting crafts, and other early fall ideas that work well for classroom bulletin boards or just as a fun addition to your September lesson plans!
Apple Crafts for September
Apples are a classic September theme in kindergarten, and there are so many ways to connect them to the skills you’re already teaching. Here are some apple crafts that add a hands-on element to math and science activities while giving students something fun to create along the way.
Apple Seed Counting Craft
This Apple Seed Counting Craft can be used as a math lesson AND makes a great September bulletin board craft! The templates are easy to cut and large enough for little hands and fingers.
Apple Life Cycle Crown
If you’re teaching about the apple life cycle, this Apple Life Cycle Crown is a must have! Students will add the pictures to the crown in the correct order.

September is also a great time to continue working on name recognition and letter order as students get settled into the school year. Adding a seasonal twist to name practice makes it easy and a little more fun!

This Apple Tree Name Craft is so fun! Students will build their own apple tree using the simple templates, then add the letters of their name as the apples. Easy to make and it would look great on a bulletin board!
