RELATED FALL CRAFT POST: Paper Plate Apple Core
Craft Supplies:
- 1 – Small/Medium sized Apple
- Small Paper Plate
- Red Craft Paint
- Black/Green Markers
- Cardstock Paper {most importantly white!}
- Glue Stick
- Scissors
- optional materials – wiggle eyes
Directions:
- First grab your apple and cut it in half. Reserve one half for today’s craft and enjoy the other 🙂
- Squirt your red paint on the paper plate.
- Have children dip the apple half into the red paint {smear it around} then stamp it in the center of some white cardstock. This will be the staple of your craft. Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each card you want to make.
- Once dry, grab your markers and draw around the stamped design, to give the “apple” more definition. Don’t forget the stem and apple seeds inside!
- Next grab your scissors and trim around your finished piece to add to a cardstock card front.
- To finish off the Apple Stamped Card, have children glue their stamped piece to a cardstock card front and write phrases like “I Love You To The Core…” or “Couldn’t have picked a better teacher” on the outside.
- Then finish off with any other creative embellishments you have in mind {maybe a smiling face and wiggle eyes} before you write a sweet message in the inside and mail away to the lucky receiver!!!
