I know, I know….it’s probably too early to start thinking about fall right now BUT honestly – it’s never too early to start planning the next season’s crafts {especially in blogland!} And with today’s simple Paper Plate Candy Apples Kid Craft, I HOPE you will be feeling the same way too!

So if you happen to be looking for some crafty activities to keep the kids busy this upcoming fall – look no further because today’s Paper Plate Candy Apple craft is super easy to put together, great for children of all ages and it’s really inexpensive too. Best part? It’s totally customizable from the paint colors to adding embellishments like rhinestones & glitter to make it your own. These candy apples can be just as sweet as the real thing but not as sticky!

So what are you waiting for? Don’t get “stuck” on what to do – make these beauties this fall and have a crafty memorable season!

Paper Plate Candy Apple Craft Supplies:

* Small Paper Plates
* Red/Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Brown Cardstock
* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
* Scissors
* School Glue
* Stapler
optional – glitter, rhinestones, stickers etc

Directions:

* First have children cover their paper plates completely with red and/or green paint.
* While they are working on that, cut out the “caramel” from the brown cardstock.
* To finish off the Candy Apple kid craft, staple on the cardstock piece to the paper plate, as well as the popsicle stick to the back. Then add other embellishments you see fit before setting aside to let it all dry completely. Then display proudly!
* You can also change up this craft by skipping the paint and using green/red tissue paper instead!

You can also make this craft with puffy paint! Just mix equal parts shaving cream and glue to make a frosting consistency & add it on your paper plate!
