**ADORABLE**No Prep Apple Seeds Counting Mat

ADORABLENo Prep Apple Seeds Counting Mat

I cant believe its almost fall! If you blink, the year will be gone. Cooler weather brings long sleeves and of course, APPLES!!!! Apples are one of the most common things you associate with Fall. In the spirit of fall, I decided to create a simple, no prep counting mat for my preschoolers to practice their fine motor and counting skills.

How to Use:

Print the printable on card stock. (Please put the printer settings on print to page.) Laminate or place in a dry erase sleeve or page protector sheet for durability. Gather a manipulative you would like to use to count. Choices can include black beans,  black buttons, black pom poms, actual apple seeds, etc. 
Use a dry erase marker to write a number in the box located in the top upper right corner. Encourage your child to count that many "seeds" onto the apple.

Variations:
Use a die to randomly select a number . 
Use a plastic number instead of writing the number to place into the box. 
Encourage your child to rainbow write (write the number in several different colors)
Use playing cards to randomly select a number. 

I hope you really like this printable. All of my printables and sensory kits are inspired by my love of teaching and my 2 young sons.

Since then, multiple environmental agencies have developed such as the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as environmental laws such as the Clean Air Act, the Water Quality Improvement Act, and the Endangered Species Act. In year 2020, we celebrated our 50th Earth Day. Covid could not even stop virtual events from happening globally. Once a year, people become aware of our actions and inquire about ways to help protect our environment. In fact, Earth Day can be everyday. There are small things we can do at home that can make a huge impact on the planet. As a parent, I feel it's important to teach my children to care about the environment. It is our children that will inherit the Earth and they need to know their actions can make an impact- positive or negative. We can...
