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!
