Teach your little learner about the four seasons through the life cycle of an apple tree. Paint in the leaves of the apple tree in each season using your fingers, cotton balls, or any other material your child prefers to use.

This resource is an extension activity for our Weekly Storybook-based Activity Guide to the book “The Little House.”

What’s Included?

1. A “lookbook” of real photos of an apple tree in each season.
2. A letter-sized (8.5″ x 11″) version of a bare apple tree.
3. A 17″ x 22″ version of a bare apple tree (comes in 4 letter-sized pages for easy printing and assembling).

How to Play

1. If using the 17 x 22 version, tape each season together to make the full apple tree and display!
2. Using the Apple Tree Lookbook as a reference, either fingerpaint or use cotton balls to create a representation of what each scene would look like each season.
3. If using the 17 x 22 version, tape each season together to make the full apple tree and display!
