Apple With ABC 123 and Big Pencil

A large apple fills the page with two leaves on a short stem at the top. The letters ABC are drawn in bold block style on the left side of the apple, with the A tilted and sticking out past the edge. The numbers 123 sit on the lower right, with the 3 overlapping the apple's outline. A long pencil runs diagonally across the whole apple, with its eraser and metal band at the top right and the sharpened tip at the bottom left. The thick outlines and big open spaces are easy for small hands to color. Try coloring the apple red or green, then use a different bright color for each letter and number. Kids can say the letters and count the numbers out loud as they finish each one. This free page works well for a first day of school activity.
