Now that the “big news” of our upcoming move to England has finally sunk in, it’s time for me to start getting creative with the craft supplies I have on hand and need to use up before we ship out. Would it come to a surprise to you that I have WAY to much stuff and probably not enough time?

One of things I can’t take with us on the move is craft paint. I know the reasoning behind it but it honestly sucks, especially when you have a HUGE selection of beautiful colors that you just can’t part with yet.

So on that note – expect to see several random kid crafts in the next coming weeks, that use tons of paint and other random supplies that I can’t exactly take with us {the perfect excuse to get crafty though – right?}

But first, let’s focus on this beautiful and simple spring themed kid craft – shall we? I call it Apple Stamped Flowers and it’s a great way to get good use out of an apple that is about to go bad {in fact, ours was starting to sink in on one side already so it was no big loss to use it in this particular craft}

With just a little paint and some creative imagination – you too can pull this simple and inexpensive activity together for your child in no time! So what are you waiting for? Grab those craft supplies and get to work on making some one-of-a-kind flowers! Happy crafting my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Apple Stamped Flowers Supplies:

* 1 – Small/Medium sized Apple
* Pink/Green Craft Paint
* Large Yellow Cupcake Liner
* Colored Cardstock
* Paper Plate
* Glue Stick

Directions:

* First have children flatten and glue down their yellow cupcake liner to the center of the cardstock.
* Next cut your apple in half. This is your stamp for the flower petals.
* Squirt some pink paint on your paper plate.
* Rub your apple in the paint, until it’s completely covered.
* Using it like a stamp, place it around the rim of the yellow cupcake liner, to create “petals” of the flower.
* To finish off the Apple Stamped Flower, draw a stem with your green paint from the cupcake liner and add other embellishments to really give the flower life.
* Discard the used apple afterwards.
