Apple Alike! Apple Same or Different Worksheets

July 27, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Smell that?

It’s the scent of apple season around the corner!

As much as I love summer (and I do), fall is easily my next favorite season. And one of the reasons I love fall so much has to do with apples.

I’ll be honest here. I have never been apple picking. But it’s definitely on my bucket list to try with the kids.

I have, however, used apples as an early childhood theme for years (like almost all primary teachers).

And I’m excited to share a brand new apple-themed early resource: Apple Alike! Apple Same or Different Worksheets!

This is a wonderful and simple way to practice visual discrimination with early learners during fall!

Read on to see how you can use this with your students and to find out how to get your copy.

Ice Cream Colors! Ice Cream Coloring Pages

June 4, 2020 by Selena Robinson 2 Comments

Nothing says “summer is here” quite like an ice cream cone.

Personally, I can eat ice cream all year long, but it’s especially great during warm weather.

When my kids are laying around on a warm afternoon, I like to share simple activities to keep them engaged, instead of just sitting in front of a screen.

Which is why I’m sharing these free ice cream coloring pages today – in case any of you are dealing with the same summer break situation.

To use these ice cream coloring pages, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

This product includes eight different ice cream coloring sheets, including cones, popsicles, and push pops.

There’s no right or wrong way to color each picture, so you can just hand out crayons or colored pencils and let the kids go wild.

Of course, it’s possible that you’ll end up with green ice cream, but hey. That’s art for you.

Our youngest one wanted to use a ton of colors for her push pop.

And, of course, she couldn’t pass up a chance to add a few “sprinkles” to her ice cream cone!

These coloring sheets would be a fantastic art activity to use with our ice cream unit. It’s got plenty of fun ice cream themed activities for early learners.

Preschool Worksheets: Cookie Counting Worksheets for Preschool

November 4, 2019 by Selena Robinson 3 Comments

One of the wonderful things about preschool is that you don’t have to teach a whole lot of math. After all, you’re working with kids that are four to five years old.

So it’s really a time for introducing the very basics of mathematics: shapes, sizes, counting, numbers, and so on.

I thought we’d add a fun twist to working on counting with Piglet with these cookie counting worksheets for preschool!

These printables include practice for counting to ten and matching like objects – two skills that are important to cover in preschool.

Read on to see how to get a copy of these for your students!

And, if you enjoy this printable, check out our Ice Cream Preschool Shape Sorting Activity to practice shape differentiation with early learners! Don’t miss our other fun preschool worksheets and activities too!

$These printable cookie counting to ten worksheets are so fun for math centers or morning tubs!$

Cookie Counting Worksheets for Preschool

To use these cookie counting worksheets for preschool, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Printer (with ink)
Printer paper
Pencils
Laminator (optional)
Dry erase crayons (optional)

This product includes two worksheets – one set featuring color cookies and one set with line art cookies (if you want to save on ink).

Students count the chocolate chips in each cookie and then draw a line to match it to a cookie with the same amount of chips on the opposite side.

Each worksheet has five rows, so kids only have to match one cookie on the left side to another cookie on the right side.

With Piglet, we started by counting the number of chocolate chips in the first cookie.

Then we went to the right side to find the cookie with the same number of chips. Then she drew a line to match them up.

After that, there was no stopping her!

A full answer key is provided for these worksheets as well.

If you want to reuse these cooking counting worksheets at math centers, just laminate them and let students use dry erase markers!

Preschool Worksheets: Farm Themed Fall Counting Worksheets

September 23, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Farm animals are basically synonymous with fall, aren’t they? When I think of autumn, I picture golden leaves, harvesting, and farms.

So I thought this would be a neat time to add some more preschool worksheets – a set of farm-themed fall counting worksheets!

These are so cute for learning to count to ten! They feature adorable little pigs, chicks, hens, horses, and even farm equipment!

If you’re planning a farm field trip, these would be a perfect way to add a math lesson while getting the kids excited for what they’ll see!

Preschool Worksheets: Farm Fall Counting Worksheets

To use these fall counting worksheets, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

Working on counting is always fun with kids. There are so many ways to reinforce this concept.

Along with these worksheets, you can use counting bears, Unifix cubes, or even DIY manipulatives, such as buttons, coins, and pom-poms.

These are simple enough for kids to complete on their own, but directions are provided on each page as well.

As kids count the number of each object, they can write the number in the boxes.

There is a worksheet featuring barns and tractors too – not just farm animals.

With our little one, we counted each object. This is a good way to reinforce one-to-one correspondence.

Then she wrote the number in the box.

This set of worksheets also includes a line art version (if you want to save your color ink) and a full answer key.

By the way, if you use the line art version, let the kids color in the farm objects afterward!

Preschool Worksheets: Apple Preschool Matching Worksheets

August 22, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

You know how you can tell that preschoolers are ready to learn to tell items apart by appearance? They say things like “I don’t want that one! I want THAT ONE!”

Learning how to tell items that are similar apart from those that are different is an important skill for preschoolers to develop and these apple-themed preschool matching worksheets can help!

These preschool printables feature a fun apple theme that is perfect for back to school and fall learning!

If you enjoy these worksheets for preschoolers, be sure to check out some of our other preschool worksheets and activities, including our cupcake letter matching activity and our preschool big and small worksheets!

Apple Preschool Matching Worksheets

To use these preschool matching worksheets, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

These apple printables for preschool are easy to use! There’s a color version and a line art version (in case you want to save on ink or if you want the kids to color them in themselves).

Just hand out a set and let the kids look at each apple on the left side. Then they can find the matching apple on the right side and draw a line to connect the matching pair.

These are good practice for recognizing similar items because some of the apples have shared characteristics, such as color and shape.

Preschoolers may have to look at each item for a while before finding the one that matches. And that’s okay! Give them plenty of time and try to keep the lesson fun.

This product also includes a full answer key, so you can print the answer pages and let kids see which items match on their own!

Preschool Worksheets: Apple Seek and Find Shapes Worksheets

August 12, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Do you remember how old you were when you first learned how to recognize shapes?

I remember learning about the octagon in particular, because I started looking for STOP signs just so I could say “octagon” and feel really smart.

When you’re teaching preschool, shapes are a critical math skill to cover. The great thing is that learning shapes is a pretty fun activity already, so you don’t have to worry about making it fun.

But if you’d like to add a little more hands-on learning to this objective, these apple-themed shapes worksheets for preschool are a great way to do it!

Read on to learn how to get a copy of these shape worksheets for your early learner!

And, if you’d like to do more fun apple learning, don’t miss our Apple Matching Worksheets and our Apple Counting Puzzles!

This set of preschool worksheets includes four separate printables with a sweet apple theme!

Find the circles worksheet

And a find the triangles worksheet

A full answer key is included as well!

The directions are printed on each page, so you may have to help them read the instructions to know which shapes to look for on each worksheet.

But after that, they’re off and running!

Plus, these worksheets are designed with line art, so they won’t be a burden on your printer.

Preschool Worksheets: Big and Small Worksheets for Preschool

April 15, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

I remember the first time Piglet showed that she was starting to notice differences in sizes. She said “Wow! Mommy! Your hand is much more huger than mine!” *giggle*

Since she has older siblings, she seemed to become aware of the differences between bigger and smaller pretty quickly.

After all, she wasn’t able to do a lot of things her brothers and sisters could because they were “bigger” than her.

To reinforce the idea of size differentiation, I decided to try some big and small worksheets for preschool. And I thought why not add a cute cupcake theme and make them free while I was at it!

I’ve been on a bit of a cupcake roll lately, so if you want to build a quick unit for your preschooler, add these worksheets for preschoolers to our cupcake letter matching activity and our cupcake playdough mats!

Plus, see our other preschool worksheets and activities for kids!

Cupcake Big and Small Worksheets for Preschool

To use these cupcake big and small worksheets, you’ll need the following supplies: (Affiliate links provided for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

These printables focus on helping preschoolers learn the difference between items that are “biggest” and those that are “smallest”.

Kids can practice finding the cupcakes that are biggest on one worksheet.

A second worksheet helps them practice finding the smallest cupcake in each row.

I didn’t want to do biggest and smallest on the same worksheet, because that could be a little confusing, especially for young learners.

A complete answer key is included. And, if you use the line art version, you can let the kids color in their cupcakes afterwards.

Preschool Worksheets: Preschool Sorting Worksheets

January 31, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Have you ever taken a preschooler out to shop for clothes? My four-year-old has recently developed a severe aversion to particular colors and textures, so shopping for clothing is…an interesting experience.

Here’s a sample exchange:

Me: “What do you think about this shirt?”

Her: *waves both arms frantically* “No, Mom! I only like purple right now!”

Clearly, she knows her colors.

Preschoolers typically do a great job at distinguishing colors, sizes, and quantities when it comes to things they prefer, but learning to sort common objects by color or amount can still be a little tricky. So I’m sharing a brand new set of preschool worksheets today: color and number preschool sorting worksheets!

These printables are a great way to give little learners some practice in recognizing colors, counting from one to four, and classifying items as sets – all in one activity! Plus, they get a little fine motor practice too!

Read on to see how to get your set and, if you like these, check out our Apple Activities Preschool Bundle for more PreK learning fun!

Preschool Worksheets: Color and Number Preschool Sorting Worksheets

To use these color and number preschool sorting worksheets, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

This cut-and-paste activity is a perfect hands-on lesson for preschoolers on colors and counting! This product includes four color and number sorting worksheets, with directions.

Two printable pages of color cubes are included as well. Plus, a full answer key!

Once the kids cut out the color cubes, they can practice gluing the correct number of cubes in the right section on each worksheet.

You might want to have the kids match up the cubes before gluing. That way, they’ll get a little extra practice and they’ll have time to switch any cubes around before gluing them down.

(Hint: If your child tends to have a meltdown over mistakes – like mine – the extra practice is totally worth it.)

Each worksheet has a section for different colors and quantities of color cubes.

There are enough color cubes on the two pages to fill all four worksheets – with several left over. So if you want the kids to get a little extra scissor skills practice, they can work on cutting out the extra cubes afterward!

Preschool Worksheets: Pumpkin Preschool Ordinal Number Worksheets

September 24, 2018 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

Counting is one of the most important skills kids learn in preschool. But there’s more to counting than just reciting numerals from 1 to 10. Kids also need to learn how to use ordinal numbers to assign sequential order to objects in a line.

Actually, preschoolers usually have a pretty good idea of what “first” means already. Just try to give someone else something ahead of them. They’ll shout “I was first!” It’s the other numbers that might need a little practice. 😉

And that’s why I’m excited to share these pumpkin preschool ordinal number worksheets! These include a ordinal counting lesson that you can use with early learners who are ready to work with this math concept!

By the way, if you need a little refresher about how to use ordinal numbers, there’s a lesson included that explains how to use these numbers, plus a full answer key! Read on to see how to get your copy!

If your kids enjoy these pumpkin printables, try our simple Coffee Filter Pumpkin Craft for a related art project. Or add more fall math practice with our Apple Preschool Counting Puzzles! And don’t miss our growing list of preschool worksheets and activities!

Pumpkin Preschool Ordinal Number Worksheets

To use these preschool ordinal number worksheets, you’ll need the following: (Affiliate links are provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

This is a complete math lesson on how to count with ordinal numbers for preschoolers. It begins with a two-page lesson that explains what ordinal numbers are and how they are used in counting.

Once you read the lesson with the kids, you can hand out the first ordinal number worksheet.

The worksheet follows the same format as the lesson, so kids won’t get confused trying to understand the directions.

Since the resource is for preschoolers, the focus is on learning ordinal numbers from first through fourth.

The second worksheet lets kids match up ordinal number words to the place each pumpkin holds.

Need to save on ink? Use the line art version, which is also included. Plus, you can have the kids color the worksheets afterward, which is always fun.

And there’s a complete answer key too!
