Have your child make a tally graph showing how many of each apple colour there are. Have your child count the tally’s and write the whole number.

This is a great way for children to practice printing, one to one correspondence,  addition and learn how to chart.

For children too young to understand how to take care of a garden, have plastic fruits and veggies in a sandbox or in a designated area of your yard. Provide your children with child sized spades a rakes for their garden. This will provide you with a wonderful opportunity to help teach your child the names of the fruits and vegetables, colors, shapes and sizes (larger, smaller). Your child will also use his find motor skills as he digs and pulls out vegetables. Try a baggie garden with your child to teach that vegetables start out as seeds.
