How to use this worksheet
- Start at the large dot 1 in the dip at the top of the apple.
- Draw up to 2, the tip of the stem, then down to 3 on the right shoulder.
- Keep following the dashes down the right side, across the bottom at 6 and 7 and up the left side to 10.
- Join 10 back to 1 to close the apple.
What this worksheet teaches
The stem gives a tiny up-and-down movement at the very start; after that the path becomes one big loop around the fruit. Going all the way around a shape in one direction prepares the hand for circles and rounded letters such as o and a. Following the numbers 1 to 10 along a dashed line supports children who know the counting words but are still learning to recognize the written numerals.
Play idea
Decide together whether this is a red, green or yellow apple. Add a leaf next to the stem and a little worm peeking out of the side. For a snack-time follow-up, cut a real apple in half across the middle and look for the star made by its seeds.
