Paper Plate Apple Core - Kid Craft Paper Plate Apple Core - Kid Craft

This simple and cute craft is perfect for kids of all ages and can be done in under 30 minutes.

Craft Supplies:

  • Paper Plates – Large or Small {one per apple craft}
  • Craft Scissors
  • Red or Green Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Green Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Hand-Held Office Stapler
  • Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

  • First you need to cut your paper plate down to look like an apple core. I did this by cutting two small football/diamond shapes out on the left & right side of the paper plate.
  • Discard the paper plate cutouts {or save them for a rainy day craft!}
  • Repeat for each apple you want to make today.
  • Next grab your choice of color in craft paint, along with the foam paint brush.
  • Squirt a small amount on the top and bottom of the paper plate piece. You just want to paint the rim of the paper plate to create the outside skin of the apple.
  • When done painting, set aside the paper plate piece to allow it to dry a bit.
  • Next grab your two sheets of cardstock paper, along with the scissors again.
  • Trim out a small stem piece from the brown cardstock, while cutting out a large leaf shape from the green.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Apple Core – Kid Craft staple the colored paper pieces to the paper plate.
  • Now take your black Sharpie marker and draw three small apple seeds in the center of the paper plate.
  • That’s it! Now display it proudly and admire your hard work!
