In the print dialog choose actual size (100 %) and black and white. Add a thick triangular crayon.

Why is this sheet for ages 4–5?

Cutting and ordering in one. The child has to cut every piece out first and only then compare them – which works on the table, not on the sheet.

  • Four pictures to cut out: a square outline with corners.
  • Ordering by size is maths without numbers.
  • The numbers 1–4 tie the order to a digit.

💬 Tip for parents

Lay the cut-out apples side by side on the table before gluing – thinking should not be done with glue in hand. Ask “which one is smaller?” instead of pointing. If the child wants more, they can colour the apples from lightest to darkest.
