Our toddlers had a blast during a hands-on fall activity—sticking apples onto a giant paper tree! This simple yet engaging task helps develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and early counting concepts, all while celebrating the season.

Through creative play, our youngest students explored colors, practiced spatial awareness, and worked together to build their very own apple orchard. 🍏🍎
