Apples Learning Pack – 75-Page Montessori Printable Unit Study (Ages 3–6)

From a white blossom to a crunchy red apple. A full week of hands-on apple learning, ready to print.

This beautifully illustrated learning pack follows the apple from a tiny seed and a busy bee on a blossom to the apple on your plate. Children cut an apple across the middle and find the star inside, learn the parts of an apple and discover how leaves make food for the tree. The pack is inspired by Montessori and the Cambridge Early Years framework. Every page is marked with a level, so one pack grows with your child from age 3 to 6.

Pair the pack with an apple your child can hold and explore:

• Apple Cross Section Sensory Tray: find the skin, flesh, core and the seed star with your fingers, then name them with the parts poster.
• Apple 10-Frame Counting Tray: count real apples to 10 alongside the counting pages.
• Apple Cross Section STL file: have a 3D printer? Print your own apple tray at home or for your classroom.

Touch the real parts, then name them on paper. It all follows the Playtessori Flow™: Movement → Pressure → Focus.
