I hopped back a few years and found a post here on my blog that could be useful to you today!
Laminate these free fun play dough mats to provide a motivating learning experience for your students that combines an apple theme and early counting.

Students roll play dough ball apples (up to 10) to put on the ground under the apple tree. They can say the simple rhyme as they make them:
Roll it red,
Roll it round.
Put 3 apples,
On the ground!
This activity is encouraging many dough skills that will help your students five motor strength. 
Students will also naturally explore number and quantity as they manipulate and test-out their play dough to fit the rhyme.
This packet includes 10 mats with different shapes to make!
Hop through my other past posts if you are looking for more apple ideas for your classroom!
Have an awesome day friends.
