Looking for apple activities for kids? Then try this apple themed counting and sorting activity for preschoolers, toddlers, and/or kindergarten aged kids that's perfect on (or off!) the light table.
When I found some acrylic apple table scatter at Michaels, I just knew they would be perfect to use on our DIY light table.
And I wasn't wrong. They look fantastic!
However, J also kept track of how many apples there were by using his calculator. This boy and his calculator, I tell ya! There's a reason I made him a calculator cake for his birthday this year. (turns out he's got hypernumeracy so it makes sense now)
Pair the apples with some containers that are the same color and, voila, you have an instant sorting activity for the light table. So if you need a simple apple themed activity for preschool or kindergarten, then you should give this idea a try!
What You'll Need for this Apple Light Table Idea
This apple theme activity is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. Here's what you'll need:
- Acrylic apples (I found these at Michael's)
- Individual sized applesauce (or similar) containers
- Permanent markers
To make your own color sorting containers, simply color the bottom of the container with a permanent marker and let it dry.

J quickly knew what to do, sorting the apples into the matching container.
