Monday

-Glue green construction paper pieces to letter B
– Make an apple tree. Adult, cut out a brown tree trunk and glue to blue sheet of paper. Attach clothes pin to a pompom and dip into green paint for the tree. Do the same on another pompom and dip into red paint for the apples.
-Green playdoh play.

Tuesday
-Dot green on letter B with dot markers (we like these dot markers)
-String beads onto 4-5 pipe cleaners. Adult, shape the pipe cleaners into an apple shape, affix with a brown stem.

Wednesday
-Color letter B or number 2 with green crayon (protip–use toddler sized crayons like these vs regular size crayons)
-Adults, cut an apple in half (to get the star on the inside), dip into paint, let kiddo stamp the apple onto the paper. You can use yellow, green, and/or red paint for this to show different apple colors. 
-Green sensory bin with apple items (we used apple beads I found at Hobby Lobby)
-Optional, make an apple cake and let your kiddo help out–when appropriate. (recipe here)

Thursday

-Glue green tissue paper to number 2
-Use a circle stamp (or if you can find an apple stamp) and stamp red, yellow, and green circles onto paper. Let them turn the circles into apples. You don’t need an actual stamp. You can cut circles out of foam or cardboard and glue them in a stack and onto cardboard to make a stamp. You can use corks from bottles, wooden blocks, etc etc.
-String beads onto a string (for little kids use beads with larger holes, like pony beads) to make a necklace or bracelet. Use only green beads or use apple color beads, alternatively if you can find apple beads (I found these on amazon, though the beads we found at Hobby Lobby were cheaper, especially if you can get them when they’re 40% off. Shop around!)

Friday
Paint letter B with green
-Go around the house and gather green items
-Group green items (or any items) in groups of 2’s. Alternatively, you can do a search for the number 2  around your home. 
-Apple sequence cards. In my shop, make sure to use code free to get it for free (please don’t pay for this)
-Grab a sheet of paper and let your kiddo mix yellow and blue paint to make green.-Fingerprint keepsake. Use red, yellow, and green stamp pads to make fingerprints all over a piece of paper (for small fingers, cut a piece of paper in half). Adults draw brown stems and green leaves on the apples.
