Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- Green Scrapbook Paper
- Large Scallop Paper Punch
- School Glue
- Brown Craft Paint
- Paint Brush

Directions:
- First have children paint the “trunk” of their trees. They will paint one jumbo popsicle stick per tree, completely brown.
- While they are working on that, go ahead and punch out a large scallop circle from the green cardstock. You need ONE scallop paper punch per tree they are making.

- To finish off the Popsicle Stick Apple Trees – glue the finished scallop piece to the popsicle stick.
- Then let it all dry completely before displaying/playing with proudly!
- Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share on our Facebook page!
Customize It:
- If you don’t have a scallop paper punch – using scissors and hand-cutting a circular shape is perfectly fine!
- Don’t have red rhinestone stickers? No worries on that either! For a fun twist on this craft, use a clean q-tip as a paint brush and add dots of red craft paint to make the apples, instead!
- And one last tip – this doesn’t have to be just an apple tree craft either! Remember – cherries and oranges grow on trees too. Wink wink!
