Craft Supplies:
- Toilet Paper Roll
- White Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Large Cupcake Liners
- Craft Scissors
- Green Cardstock Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper

Directions:
- First things first – flatten the toilet paper roll and staple it on both ends to make a rectangle piece.
- Next up – have children paint one side of their newly flattened toilet paper roll, completely white.
- When done painting, set aside the cardboard tube to let it dry completely.
- While that is drying, grab the sheets of cardstock paper and scissors.
- Trim out a leaf from the green and a stem shape out of the brown.
- Now grab the TWO cupcake liners.
- Flatten them out and fold them in half. These will be the top and bottom of the apple.
- To finish off the Toilet Paper Roll Apple – staple the two cupcake liners {one on each end} onto the toilet paper roll, along with the brown stem & green leaf shapes.
- Then take the Sharpie marker and draw on “seeds” in the center of it all.
- Let it dry completely before displaying your cardboard tube apple core piece proudly!!!
