Apple Life Cycle Worksheets

Apples are so interesting. There are so many varieties and colors to explore with kids.

These free life cycle worksheets are perfect for older threes, fours, and fives.

If you’d like to teach a whole unit on apples, be sure to add this apple life cycle activity.

apple life cycle puzzles

The first worksheet in this pack features four self-correcting puzzles. If your preschooler doesn’t enjoy coloring, you can print the puzzles on colored printer paper before laminating them for durability.

Once the page is laminated, cut out the four puzzles and then cut the puzzles apart.

Have your child match the picture with the correct life cycle vocabulary word.

Even if your child can’t read yet, they can complete the puzzles as each one is different.

If your kids need extra scissor practice, let them do the cutting. They’ll strengthen visual discrimination and logic skills as they decide which pieces fit together.

apple life cycle sequencing

Preschoolers will work on sequencing with the “Which is Next?” worksheet.

You print this one on colored paper, too, if your kids want to color the pictures.

Preschoolers will cut out the pictures at the bottom of the page. Then, they’ll glue them in the correct box to finish each sequencing strip on the page.

You can make this a reusable activity by laminating the page and adding velcro dots to the sequencing strips and cards.

This is a great time to talk about the vocabulary associated with the life cycle of an apple.

The next page in this pack has several different learning components. First, kids will see the sequence of the life cycle in the pictures on the left side of the page.

Second, they’ll review the vocabulary words as they read them down the right side of the page.

Third, kids will practice handwriting as they trace each of the vocabulary word on the right side of the page.

Then, work on motor skills as they draw a line to match the picture with the vocabulary word.

You can laminate this page and have kids write with dry erase markers, if you would like to make this reusable.

Apple maze

The final page in this worksheet packet is a maze. This activity is a great way to help kids strengthen logical reasoning skills as they trace a path from beginning to end.

This activity can also be laminated or slipped into a plastic pouch and completed with a dry erase marker.
