With apple season just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to dive into planning your apple preschool theme. One activity you should definitely include would be this apple life cycle printable booklet and class book. Studying the life cycle of an apple tree is a great addition to your fall preschool activities.

Beyond describing the stages of an apple tree’s life, this apple printable book actively engages preschoolers by posing thoughtful questions. These questions help preschoolers think deeply about the topic and relate it to their own experiences.

This interactive resource not only teaches children about the stages of an apple tree’s life but also encourages them to think critically and make connections to their own experiences.

Each page of the apple life cycle printable booklet features informative text describing a specific phase of the apple tree’s life cycle.

But it doesn’t stop there; it includes thought-provoking questions that invite preschoolers to reflect on what they’ve learned. These questions encourage active participation, allowing students to share their thoughts and insights with other students or their parents.

This apple life cycle printable booklet is in black and white, so it can easily be printed and colored in like an apple coloring page.

This versatile resource aligns with our other fall preschool activities. We like to add it to our Apples and Pumpkins Preschool Centers.

Preschoolers love reading the book they worked so hard to color and teachers and parents love the descriptive text that teaches about the apple life cycle.

Apple Life Cycle Printable Class Book

I like to introduce the concept of the apple life cycle with the full color class book. I read this to my preschoolers during circle time.

This book offers large, full color pictures of each stage of an apple life cycle to help young readers really visualize what takes place.

They learn how the tree starts as a tiny seed, how apples grow and emerge over time, about the parts of an apple tree, and so much more!

But my kids loved the questions on each page.

The questions draw on their personal experiences while relating the content to the knowledge they already have.

This book offers a unique opportunity for preschoolers to think and ask questions.

Younger preschoolers and even toddlers also benefit from the questions, allowing opportunities to talk and develop speech skills.

Life Cycle of an Apple Printable for Preschoolers

The student version is exactly the same as the class version, with the exception that it is in a smaller booklet size and in black and white.

This allows the preschoolers to develop their fine motor skills while coloring in the pictures. It also could be used as an informal comprehension assessment since it is interactive.

Once assembled and colored, preschoolers can “read” their apple booklet over and over again. And the questions at the end of each page are the perfect way for parents to interact with their children while reading it at home.

Life Cycle of an Apple Activities

One of the things I love most about this booklet is that it is great for a range of skills and abilities.

Preschoolers who can’t read can benefit, as well as kiddos even in 2nd grade or 3rd grade. The following ideas can be used from preschool to third grade, depending on the skills level of your class.

Dictated Answers

As an exercise in writing, record the children’s responses to the questions on each page on a whiteboard. Invite the children to read the response back to you, pointing to each word to demonstrate one to one correspondence in reading.

Search for Specific Words

Older students can search the text for targeted words, such as sight words or science-related words like apple, sprout or blossom.

These words can be copied for writing or spelling practice, added to a word wall, or they can be highlighted making them easy to recognize while reading.

Comparing Texts

Children who have read more than one book about the apple life cycle can compare texts, pointing out matching pictures in each book.

When doing this with a partner, children have the opportunity to not only share their reading experiences, but they also develop language skills by talking about the text with others.
