Summer reading-Ten Apples up On Top! by Dr. Seuss


We have been reading tons of books lately. Today my daughter chose Ten Apples Up On Top, by Dr. Seuss. After reading, I decided we could make a learning activity.

Materials needed:

Craft paper
Laminate sheet (I chose to laminate everything). You don't have to
-Magnetic tape
-Crayons
-Craft paper
-Scissors



Draw a  few apples, and color them. Now you can draw your lion, tiger, and dog. I used yellow craft paper and figured I wouldn't color them. After doing this, add your paper with apples and the one with each character to your laminate sheet.

 Once you have laminated both sheets of paper, cut everything out. When you're all done with cutting each of them out, using some magnetic tape, cut them into small squares.

Apply magnetic tape to each apple and character. We used my daughter's Art easel, which has a magnetic chalkboard. (My husband made it.)



Now that you're done, have some fun counting the apples!
My daughter loved this activity. (I did as well.)


Happy Counting!

If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! We just picked up our youngest daughter from summer camp yesterday. She had so much fun and met new people. The drive to her camp was beautiful. When we dropped her off last week, I took this picture of a cow as it passed by.  At that moment, I was reminded of all the beauty that surrounds us. Here in Colorado, like many other places, we are battling wildfires. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, including families, wildlife, firefighters, and others who have been working so hard to deal with these fires. It's been dry and windy, and we could honestly use some moisture. Wishing you all a ...
