The Hungry Ant: Feed the Ant by Cutting and Pasting Fruits Worksheet

How to use this worksheet

Read through the days of the week together first, pointing to each one in order on the worksheet. Have your child cut out the fruit pictures at the bottom of the page, then look at the example to understand which fruit belongs on which day. Guide them to paste each fruit next to its matching day, saying the day and fruit name aloud as they glue. Once complete, read through the whole week together, naming each day's fruit in order.
