Ten Apples Up On Top! Have the children count the
apples as you read the story.
Place a large apple tree and have a child(ren) place ten red
apples numbered 1-10 on it (or you can use blank apples or apple
stickers). Have the children count as you place the
apples on the tree and after all the apples are on the tree.
Apple Craft
Use the apple pattern at
Preschool
Express:
Apple Patterns. Cut the apple out of red paper.
Cut a green leaf. Cut a brown stem and glue onto the
back of the apple. Make finger prints using your favorite
color of paint. Hole punch a hole and hang using yarn.
Apple Tree Craft
Take a 9-inch paper plate. Make a brown trunk (with a larger
bottom). Glue it onto the back of the paper plate.
(For older children (or homeschooling), have the children tear
some brown construction paper for the trunk and glue it on a white
trunk.) Fingerprint with red, green, and/or yellow paint (or
glue pieces of paper) onto the paper plate. (If desired, you
can number ten of the painted or glued on apples.)
Apple Tree
Author unknown
Way up in the apple tree
Two red apples smiled at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmm - were they good!
As you say this fingerplay, have the children place their hands
above them (connecting their fingers together) to form a apple
tree.
Show 2 fingers and smile.
Shake the tree.
Drop two rolled up red socks (parent/teacher at first and then
have each child take turns).
Rub tummy (stomach).
Way Up High (In The Apple Tree) is on "Toddler Trio" or as
a separate CD called "Silly Favorites". The above fingerplay
is a little different. It also has other verses on the CD.

other apple songs.
Ten Little Apples Book
Make an apple tree shaped book.
On the cover and the first page, write, "Ten (10) Little
Apples". On the left hand side of the book, number each page
through the number "10". Have the child paint the correct
number of apples on each page. (For older children, you can
have them tear and glue the correct number of pieces of red
construction paper onto the page.) In the inside, glue the words
on the opposite side of the cover.
Ten Little Apples Song and Flannel Board Activity
Trace around a small round object using a pencil (or use a circle
pattern). Cut out ten apples using red (or green or yellow)
felt. Make a tree trunk using brown felt and the a large
green piece (for the leaves) using green felt.
Have the children place them on the flannel board as this song is
sung or you can purchase some more detailed apples with the below
apple flannel board stories / felt board stories.

Apple Graphing
Have each child bring in his/her favorite type of apple. On a
large piece of paper, graph the type (or color) each child likes.
Have the children count each type (or color) of apple.
Apple Toss
Roll up different colors of socks (red, green, and/or yellow).
Have the child toss the sock apples into a basket or box.
Have the child count as he/she throws it into the basket or
box. After the child is done throwing the socks, have he/she
count how many landed into the basket or box.
Apple Number
Game (File Folder)
1. Trace 22 apple shape from a cookie cutter or an apple
pattern onto paper, construction paper, or a blank index card.
2. Cut them out.
3. If you don't use red paper, use a red crayon to color the
apple cards. Color the stems brown. On one set, make
seeds using a brown crayon or colored pencil.
4. Write the numbers (0, 1, 2, ...) on one set of
apples and draw the number of seeds on another set of apples.
(For the number "0", just leave it blank.)
5. Laminate the cards and file folder (at least put some
clear laminate paper where the tape will be placed).
6. Place 6 pieces of double sided tape in the inside part of
a file folder and 5 pieces of tape on the other side.
(If you want, you can make another file folder game (or more) for
11-20, 21-30, etc.)
7. Place the cards in ascending order on the pieces of tape.
8. Write the name of the game (and picture of an apple) on
the flap. (You can write the directions on the front of the
file folder.)
9. Tape an index card (you might need to cut it some) onto
the right side of the opened folder (on the bottom right hand side).
Place the cards inside there.
Another option: Hole punch two holes in the back of a small sealable
bag. Place a piece of yarn through it. Tie off on the
back of the file folder. Place the apple cards into the bag on
the right side of the opened folder (on the bottom right hand side).
10. Have the child match the correct card with the other card.
For older children, you can make another set of cards and write the
number words on the apples. Have the child match either the
number (0, 1, 2, ...) or the number of seeds.
* I like using double sided tape because you can take them off and
have the child put the numbers in the correct order on a table or
floor.

Apple Game
Apple Number Game
Take a cookie cutter or
Preschool
Express:
Apple Patterns (reduce them some so you can get a lot on one
page) and trace or copy 20 of them. Color them red and the
stem brown. Number 10 of them, "1, 2, ... 10. The
other 10, draw 1 apple seed, 2 apple seeds, ... 10 apple seeds on
them. Laminate or place clear contact paper on them.
Have the child place them in order. If they are older and/or
understand the concept of matching the number with the number of
seeds, have them do that too.
Note: You can make this a file folder game.
Apple Song
The Worm Went Through the Apple
Copyright © 2002 Barbara Pratt. All rights reserved.
Tune of: "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"
Have one child or adult be a worm and the other be an apple.
Have the worm go through the apple (between the legs).
The worm went through the apple, the worm went through the
apple.
The worm went through the apple, to see what he could see.
And all that he could see, and all that he could see
Was the other side of the apple, the other side of the apple
The other side of the apple, was all that he could see.
