First have children paint their paper plate completely red. Just squirt some craft paint in the center and then direct them to move it around with the foam paint brush.

When they are done, set aside the paper plate piece to allow it to dry a bit.

Next grab the jumbo popsicle stick.

Glue on the small wiggle eyes and finish off with black marks all over the rest of it, to give the look of a worm.

Now grab your painted paper plate and craft scissors.

Cut TWO slits in the middle of the paper plate.

Thread your popsicle stick worm through it.

To finish off your Paper Plate Apple w/Worm craft - cut out a leaf/stem out of the cardstock and staple it to the paper plate.

Then display proudly for all to see and enjoy!!
