1. "Apple" Stickers
Abby LOVES stickers so she was all about this activity! Great fine motor activity for little hands as she had to peel the stickers off and place them on the paper. Some even ended up on her as well!
2. Apple Dots
Next she made "apples" with our red dot marker-- as you can see, she made more "applesauce" on top instead!
3. Color Sorting
She hasn't explored this activity yet... but it's on her little table for when she is ready!
4. Race to 10
We rolled the dice and added that many "apples" up on top. To make this a little 'harder' for him I would ask what he needed to get to 10, etc.

5. Who Has More On Top?
Tyler rolled the dice to make addition problems and then wrote the correct more than/ less than/ equal to symbol in the middle. And of course, added apples up on top!
6. Onomatopoeia Art
Still feeling a bit "Artsy," Tyler and I made some Truffula Tree Art using our oil pastels and watercolor crayons.....
