Apple Counting Book

Need: paper, crayons or markers, apple stickers, stapler

Directions: Draw a basic tree shape & make 11 copies per book. Depending on the ages & skills of the children, you may color the trees or have them color them. The book cover will be a colored tree and the words "My Apple Counting Book". Page one will have a tree and the words "One apple in my apple tree." Have the children place one apple sticker in their apple trees. Page two will have a tree and the words "Two apples in my apple tree." Have the children place two apple stickers in their apple trees, and so on. 3 year olds usually lose interest after 5 pages, so either make the counting book stop at 5, or break the activity in to two parts and work on 6 - 10 another time. Staple at the left edge. OR draw a tree together and help your child write 1 A’ on the tree and then 2 A’s and then 3 A’s and so on…
