A is for Apple

Today we had lots of fun with apples.  

We read the book "Ten Apples Up On Top!" This was a good book for us because it had apples so we could pick out the letter A but it also was great for counting. So this lesson incorporated both of those things.

We painted an apple tree by using an arm for the trunk, hands for the branches and fingers for apples.

We made apple number flash-cards.  I wrote the number word and symbol then drew on little stems and Addy created the apples with her fingerprint.  This was a great fine motor skills activity and we got lots of practice counting.

Then we made our lowercase letter a apple.  Addy even helped cut out those little seeds and I traced the stem and leaf and she mostly cut them out. For a fun little after lunch snack we made these apple treats.

Here are all of our apple creations.
