Johnny Appleseed Day
According to Farmer’s Almanac, Johnny Appleseed Day is a day when the life and legacy of John Chapman is celebrated.
John Chapman, also known as Johnny Appleseed, was born on September 26th and was known for planting apple orchards and sharing his love for apples everywhere he went.
To this day children around the world celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day on (or around) September 26th.

When my boys were young, I spent some time working in a kindergarten classroom and we celebrated apples for an entire week that year!
My kindergarten class enjoyed apple treats and activities while learning all about Johnny Appleseed.
It was so much fun, you guys!
