Apple picking season is fast approaching and I wanted to share a quick kid craft idea in honor of it. Today I present to you our simple “Basket Full of Pom Pom Apples” art project tutorial, that even includes a free printable to get you started with ease!

Keep scrolling for the full details so you too can celebrate this fall-tastic time of year with a special craft idea!

This is such a fun fall themed craft for the littlest crafters in your home. Using inexpensive supplies like red pom poms, school glue and some cardstock – you and your child can make a “fake” BASKET full of apples to show off and mark the apple picking season!

Our pom pom apple craft idea is versatile! You can either use our free provided basket printable {located below in the supply list} or you can skip it and hand-cut a shape out of brown construction paper instead. You can also swap out the red pom poms for red buttons, stickers or even small circle punches! The choice is yours! However you decide to recreate it, I hope it all started with this very blog post.

So friends – you can find the full tutorial below, along with the free file, so you make your own Pom Pom Apples In A Basket piece within minutes!

Happy crafting, my friends!! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your paper basket full of apples on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
