A Bushel of Letters
Cut apart the pictures below. Paste them on the apple basket page, matching the
beginning sounds to each letter.
Picture Key: apple, pie, basket, juice, seeds, worm, tree, candy/caramel (apples)
Directions:
*Print these cards onto cardstock, cut apart, and laminate for durability.
*Lay one card out at a time on a work surface. Say the name of the picture like this “ap-ple”; separating the syllables with a little
pause. Do it again and clap once for each syllable.
*Using a clothes pin, clip the correct number of syllables for each picture. If you’re doing this activity on a rainy day, you can also
have your child jump for the number of syllables to release some energy!
*After modeling, let your child try it out!

Apple Cut & Pattern Cards
*I recommend printing these onto cardstock to make it easier for the child to cut.
*To prepare for the child, cut along the darker, horizontal lines first to create 4 separate strips. (like the strip
below)
*Give the strips to the child and ask her to cut along each dotted line to make six separate picture cards for each
row.
*This can be used as a stand-alone cutting activity OR the little cards can then be used to make patterns together
with your child. (such as: apple, basket, apple, basket, etc.)
