There are two apple trees for this game.  The first has apples numbered 1-6 on it. Children choose a partner and take turns rolling a die.  Whatever number they roll they color the matching numbered apple on their apple tree.  The child who completes their apple tree, or the one with the most apples filled in, when the timer rings, is the winner.

Older students can use the second apple tree with numbers 7-12 on it.  Children practice their addition skills by first rolling one die to fill in numbers 1-6 and then using 2 dice to roll numbers 7-12. They get these numbers by adding the dice together.

1-2-3 Come Make The Life Cycle Of An Apple With Me!

There are 3 Life Cycle of an Apple craftivities in this packet.  Children can choose to glue the apple's life cycle on an apple, apple tree, or apple pie.

There is a front and back to the apple and apple tree projects. The apple has a sweet poem that I revamped, on the back.  The apple seeds are a child's finger print that was pressed onto a brown stamp pad.

On the apple life cycle TREE, students cut and glue apples for however many years old they are.

The life cycle of an apple (pie plate), was made by covering a paper plate with aluminum foil.  Because you are cutting a slice of apple pie to dangle, you have an opportunity to cover fractions as well.

There are also 2 different apple life cycle templates to choose from.  One apple life cycle is completed by using real photographs of the various stages and gluing them to the template. 

(See tree & pie photo.) The other apple life cycle, is made by coloring, cutting and gluing the pictures of each phase. (See apple photo.)

Completed projects look wonderful dangling from the ceiling.  The apple pie life cycle makes a sweet bulletin board.  I spray the pie slice with apple spice fragrance for that finishing touch.
