The Apple Pie Tree By Zoe Hall This is a great book that tells the cycle of an apple tree.  It is a very simple read so it is good for little ones.  I use this book with every time I do my apple unit.

This book addresses the concept "under" having kids place small apple stickers under different objects.  I used the small chart apples stickers.  Another added perk is to buy the apple stickers in different colors so the kids have to choose what color they want. Apple Book Activities for Apple Die Cuts If you work in a school, utilize your die cut machine!  Otherwise, buy apple bulletin board accents-usually come in a package of 36- at a teacher store.  I use them for EVERYTHING!  Put numbers on them and use them for articulation.  The number on the apple is the number of repetitions.  Spread them out and put language cards under them.  For every correct answer, that is how many points are earned.  You can also use them to teach positions. Category Game Use the apple die cuts for this game Choose 2-3 categories you would like to address and print at least 5 pictures for each category.  Glue the pictures on the apples.  Then gather baskets for each category and label each.  Have the children label the picture and place in the correct category.  I made mine from Boardmaker which made it easier to find all the pictures I needed. Homework Simple homework across ages Language Homework Apple Language Activity Word Activity Apple Snack Ideas There are numerous ideas for snacks. But because none of us have a huge budget for food, I choose one simple snack.  I brought one snack (Apple Chips) that I knew kids had never had before.  Then we graphed who liked and who did not.  Kids also made a list of things made from apples.
