There are so many apple-themed activities you can do to learn more about John Chapman, AKA Johnny Appleseed.

Johnny Appleseed Preschool

I love low-prep and no-prep activities. They’re quick and easy to put together for busy preschool moms and teachers. And this pack is full of both!

With a variety of math and literacy activities, you’ll have many activities to choose from as you introduce these pages to your preschoolers.

What You’ll Find In This Packet

ALPHABET MATCHING CARDS

Alphabet matching cards are great for so many things. Your preschoolers can work on letter recognition, matching uppercase and lowercase letters, and ABC order.

I suggest printing these pages on cardstock and laminating for durability. You can also punch a hole in the top left corner of each card and clip them together with a binder ring.

Once they’re clipped, you can store them on a hook in your literacy center or pop them in your purse for practice on-the-go.

NUMBER PUZZLES

Number puzzles help little ones learn to recognize numbers and put them in order. This packet contains puzzles for counting 1-5, 1-10, and 11-20.

As with the ABC cards, I suggest printing these puzzles on cardstock and laminating for durability.

Jj PRACTICE PAGE

On this worksheet, kids will search for the letters J and j among a larger set of letters. They’ll also search for pictures that start with the /j/ sound.

This page is available in both color and black/white for those who want to save ink.

STORYTELLING PROPS

I love providing preschoolers with storytelling props. There are so many ways to use them, and they’re super simple to assemble.

Print the page on cardstock, laminate, and glue to a craft stick. Then, you’re ready to go.

Kids can use them for story sequencing practice and for imaginative play. Stick them in a sensory bin for even more creative play ideas.

You can find these activities and more (there are 12 activities in all) in my Johnny Appleseed Preschool Pack.
