No supplies needed today. Your child's own body is the counting tool. We count on fingers, then toes, then claps and stomps, all the way to ten.

Most picture books show red apples, so many toddlers think every apple is red. Today we look closer. Apples come in lots of colors, and some are more than one color at once. The U.S. grows more than 100 kinds of apples.

Pat Hutchins wrote some of the most loved picture books for little kids, and Ten Red Apples is a perfect end to Apples week. It's a counting book, a farm book and a read-aloud that practically asks you to use silly voices.

We're ending Apples week with a warm one. On Tuesday we made a cold parfait. Today it's apple pie in a cup: soft cinnamon apples, warmed in the microwave, with a crunchy crumble on top. It's cozy, it's quick and it smells amazing.
