Step 2: On a sheet of paper, draw a tic tac toe board (2 vertical lines, 2 horizontal lines) and place a sheet of wax paper on it (or insert in plastic protector sheet). If you opt to use a cutting board, simply use celery or asparagus to make the tic tac toe board.

STEP 3: Give the apples to your child, and ask them to place their first piece on the tic tac toe board. They can use their fingers, a fork, a toothpick or even chopsticks.
