Do you want to create a unique and interesting art project with your child this fall season? Then this Coffee Filter Apple tutorial is THE one to bookmark today!
Apple Craft Made With Coffee Filters
You MIGHT have heard me say it once before on Glued To My Crafts – but coffee filters are an amazing thing to stockpile when it comes to crafting with children.
They are not expensive, don’t take up much room in your craft stash and are super versatile when it comes to kid friendly craft activities. Just like regular paper, coffee filters can be cut, folded and even painted however you like.
Plus if you are a coffee drinker like me, you probably already have a stack in your pantry already {so once less trip to the store for supplies!}
Anyways – this coffee filter apple craft is the perfect activity for the younger children to assemble. If kids love coloring and playing with a spray bottle – they are going to LOVE it! Plus if you have plans to visit an apple orchard this fall anyways – this would be a great activity to in-cooperate into your plans!
So enough chit chat from me – find all the supplies and directions below for this coffee filter apple idea. Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s beautiful apple pieces on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
