✏️ How to Use the Apple Tree Counting Book
Count and color: Children touch and count each printed apple, color the tree, and trace the numeral on the trunk.
Add your own apples: Children identify the numeral, then add the matching quantity using dot markers, stickers, stamps, drawings, or paper apples. Encourage them to count each apple as they add it, then trace the numeral.
Work through the book a few pages at a time or select the numbers your learners are practicing. Revisit completed pages to count the apples and name the numerals.
🖨️ Preparation
Print the cover and your chosen activity pages. Cut along the outer dashed lines, arrange the pages in number order, and staple along the straight left edge. Children can complete the pages before you assemble their books.
