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
  • Craft Scissors
  • Red or Green Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Green Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • 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 craft, simply staple the colored paper pieces to the decorated 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!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
