Setting: Small Group, Math Centers
Materials: red pom-poms, red sticky dots, construction paper, Sharpie, laminating film, basket, strawberry hullers
Directions: Laminate construction paper and cut out tree shapes, one tree per child in your small group. Write a different number on the bottom of each tree trunk with a Sharpie and place the corresponding number of red sticky dots on the tree. Place a basket of red pom-poms on the table and have students place the correct number of “apples” on the trees using a strawberry huller. The strawberry huller incorporates fine motor exercise into this activity.
Extensions: Change it up by switching apples for leaves or acorns. Instead of writing numbers you could use a die. Children roll the die and place that many objects on the tree. Simple, yet so many ways to use!
