How Many Apples on the Tree? Felt Game

I saw a paper version of this on a blog (I can't remember which one!) recently and immediately thought, I can make that out of felt!  It's also similar to the children's board game, Hi Ho Cherry-O.

The premise of the game is taking turns rolling a dice and placing that many apples on the tree.  This is great counting practice!  You can also do addition and subtraction.  We used one die at first, then added a second to practice larger numbers.  I've added a How Many Apples on the Tree? felt game to my etsy shop, check it out here.
Happy Counting!
