The peeler

I have been teaching five-year-olds for the past three days. Today, I wanted to get them to have an experience to write about and sketch pictures, so I took along this apple peeler (and some extra apples). The kids loved it, then did some neat pencil sketches of the peeler.

[Sarah Bremner]

Fab! These are interesting gadgets and I'm sure the sketches were full of interest too.

[Sue Wilde]

This makes a great shot in its own right. Maybe for advertising

[Graeme Stevens]

I so want one of these! Very cool shot

[Dianne]

@graemestevens Yep it peels and cores, then the apple is like a 'slinky' spring and can be stretched - kids love it and gobble both the apple and the skin 'strings'.

[Julie Urbahn]

Very cool. Love the processing.

[julia]

Great the kids would of loved it... I have a been slicer would you like to borrow that for your next day with 5 year olds... fav

[Valerie Chesney]

They would have loved every minute. good thinking.

@jules13 SOOC - photographed on my trusty piece of black velvet! Only needed a frame and 'Bob's your Uncle!'

[Dianne]

@julzmaioro Think most five year olds would be too big to fit down the slicer slot! Actually - I did mostly enjoy it, and a change from 12-13 year olds.
I remember Suz as a kid taking a piece (probably only a cut) off the end of her finger when she put it in the bean slicer to see what would happen!

[Margaret Obey]

I bet that was fun. School's still out here

[Marnie]

Gosh, I haven't seen one of these in years. Many thanks for the blast from the past.

[Tony]

Lovely capture of what looks like a modern version of a machine I knew years ago. Not surprised the kids loved it.

[Karen]

I remember my Mother in law having one of those...great shot.

[Sarah]

[Delia]

Cool shot. My stepson is keen to get one of those. They look like fun

[Keri]

I remember having to do this as a kid. It was fun for a while....Great shot

Love slinkys , followed by dunking in lemon juice and a food dehydrator :-)

[Yao RL]

[Bernadette]

[Lorraine Hardy]

[Rosie Kerr]

Your lighting and composition elevates the humble apple peeler into a thing of beauty.

[Christine]

Great shot. Think our midday supervisors at school could use one of these, they are always being asked to peel apples for the children on packed lunches

[David Briggs]

Cool shot not some thing you see very often

[Leana Niemand]

Not only a great idea, but a real cool shot as well!!

[Rachel]

Very cool!
