Apple letter activity! Pretend the black beans are Apple letter activity! Pretend the black beans are apple seeds, and students can build the letter with the apple seeds and then trace it with a dry-erase marker. Plus, building letters with those little beans is also strengthening those fingers and wrists too!
I like to introduce this activity at small group then use it as an arrival or dismissal table time activity. You can also keep this letter formation activity at the writing table or fine motor center. 
You can find this activity in my Apple Math and Literacy Centers Unit.

This apple tree butcher paper activity is super ea This apple tree butcher paper activity is super easy to prep and a ton of fun for preschool and pre-K students!
It is a giant color sorting game that gets students up and moving!  Draw three trees on butcher paper with a bingo dabber (ours had Inda ink in it) and write the color words on each tree. Then students sort the apple manipulatives by color: pom poms, stackable counters, and for stickers.

Apple sensory table! Oatmeal with a few dashes of Apple sensory table! Oatmeal with a few dashes of cinnamon is what we put in the sensory table for our apple theme!  Students were always busy making delicious pies.  Also, so much math is happening at this sensory table!  Students counted the apples (aka pom poms), measured the oatmeal, and explored size and capacity with the various tools and pie pans.
For week two we added green apples and yellow apples (aka green pom poms and yellow pom poms).
