Hello crafty friends! I have another fall friendly craft idea for you all today and it’s titled Paper Plate Apple Tree!

It’s super easy for young children, has cheap materials and even has my son’s handprint in-cooperated {making it an awesome keepsake to display year after year!}

Perfect to celebrate apple picking adventures, back-to-school season or just because! Heck – you can even tie it in with some story time {with some of your favorite apple themed books!} I hope our post inspires you!!! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Brown Cardstock
* Scissors
* Pencil
* Stapler
* School Glue
* Red Glitter

Directions:

* First have children paint their paper plate completely GREEN. Set aside.
* To make the trunk of the tree, have your child lay one hand in the center of the brown cardstock. Using a pencil, trace your child’s hand and part of their arm. Cut it out with scissors.
* Go ahead and staple that piece to the paper plate to make the “trunk” of the tree.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Apple Tree – have children draw large circles all over the paper plate and then shake red glitter on top to make “apples.” Shake off excess glitter and set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
