Apple Sorting Worksheet: Color and Size Fun!
This sorting worksheet has children ages 4-6 classify a set of cut-out apples by two different attributes, color and size, simultaneously, which builds more advanced categorization skills than sorting by a single trait alone. Deciding which basket an apple belongs in based on two criteria at once also strengthens early logical reasoning.

How to use this worksheet
Cut out all the apples at the bottom of the page and spread them out so your child can see them clearly. Look at the baskets together and talk about what makes each one different, perhaps one basket is for red apples and another for green, or one for big and one for small. Have your child sort and glue each apple into the basket that matches its color and size correctly. Once finished, count how many apples ended up in each basket together.
