For our craft we painted apples with out finger tips on a picture of an apple tree. Every paper had a different amount of apples that needed to be added to the apple tree.
Extra activities:
We played a number guessing game. I held up a number from one to ten and the children had to guess what number it was
Number songs:
Ten in a Bed
There were ten in a bed and the little one said,
roll over, roll over (rolling motion)
so they all rolled over and one fell out
there were nine in the bed and the little one said,
roll over, roll over
so the all rolled over and one fell out
(repeat until you reach one)
there was one in the bed and the little one said, good night!
Ten Fingers
I have ten fingers (hold up both hands, fingers spread)
and they all belong to me (point to yourself)
I can make them do things-
would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight (make fists)
I can open them wide (oen hands)
I can put them together (place palms together)
I can make them all hide (put hands behind your back)
I can make them jump high (hands over head
I can make them jump low (touch the floor)
I can fold them up quietly (fold hands in lap)
and hold them just so
