Optional Craft/Math Activity: 10 Apples Up on Top
This is a fun way for children to work on early counting skills while also creating
a portrait of themselves. First, after you read the book, "Ten Apples Up on
Top" by Dr. Seuess you can have your children make their own face on a paper
plate. Then let them write the numbers 1-10 on pre-cut apple shapes, and help
them staple them in order so that they re all up on top of their heads.

Family Tree Bulletin Board
Learning about Adam & Eve and Apples goes
hand in hand with learning about our Family Trees!
For some extra fun, create a tree from butcher
paper for a bulletin board. Have children color the
apples and draw a picture of themselves (or their
families) in the circle. Cut out the apples and put
them up on the bulletin board. You could title the
board "I'm part of God's Family", or "I am a Child of
God" or something similar.
