Plastic Baggie & Crinkle Paper Apple – Kid Craft

Today’s post is for those mamas with aspiring LITTLE crafters in their home.

I highly encourage this latest kids craft tutorial from Glued To My Crafts for the toddlers & young preschoolers in your life. It’s just a matter of stuffing a plastic lunch baggie with a handful of red crinkle paper and then adding a few embellishments to make it look like an apple {my favorite part being the scoop stick worm I placed in mine!}

I know first hand that spending tons of money on a craft activity is super overrated & if it involves a lot of steps – forget about it! I’m out!

So that’s why I’m SUPER EXCITED to share this latest plastic baggie and red crinkle paper apple craft idea that is NEARLY on the free spectrum AND only has FIVE steps to it. Sounds exciting, right?! Maybe too perfect but I promise it’s not a bait-and-switch thing! You can see ALL the details I’m talking about in the full tutorial below! Again, I repeat. If they can stuff a baggie with paper, they can do it!

Well friends – I don’t want to delay you anymore! Everything you need to know can be found if you continue scrolling. Then head to your local Dollar Store {or a store with Easter basket supplies!} to grab a pack of crinkle paper and make it happen today!

Happy crafting and may your afternoon be extra creative with help from us!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your shredded paper apple creations on our Facebook page to see when you are done! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Supplies:

Sandwich Baggie {the ziplock kind – one per apple craft}
Easter Basket Crinkle Paper {I used red but green works too!}
Wooden Scoop Stick {one per apple craft}
Black Sharpie Marker
Green Cardstock Paper
Brown Cardstock Paper
Kid Friendly Paper Scissors
Hand-Held Office Stapler

Directions:

First things first – stuff the baggie with your crinkle paper. Just a handful inside the bag until it’s full. Don’t seal it just yet though.
Now grab your wooden scoop stick and the black Sharpie marker.
Decorate the scoop stick to make it look like a worm. I added eyes, a mouth and a few squiggles on his body.
When done decorating the scoop stick, place the “worm” inside the stuffed baggie.
Now seal off your baggie at the top.
Set it aside.
Grab all your cardstock and scissors.
Cut out a stem from the brown and leaf from the green.
Finally – to finish off the Plastic Baggie and Crinkle Paper Apple craft, staple your paper pieces to the top of your stuffed baggie.
Then display for ALL to see!

Make it your own – although I used RED crinkle paper for mine, GREEN OR YELLOW would be great too, especially since these colors are easier to find before, during and after the Easter season! Think of this as motivation to recycle the grass from your child’s Easter basket!
