- Paintbrush
- Colored cardstock or construction paper (in green and brown)
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Glue stick
- Black marker (optional)
- Apple template (click the “click here to get this freebie” image at the end to open the form)
Directions
Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this idea to life!
Paint the paper plate with a thin coat of red or green pain. Let dry completely before moving on.
Place the apple template on the dry paper plate, trace, and cut out the shape.
First, encourage your child to position the stem at the top of the paper plate and glue it in place.
Next, guide your child to glue the leaf just to the side of the stem. Use a black marker to draw a curved line to represent the dip in the middle of an apple.
Now, glue the eyes just below the leaf, in the center of the plate.
Place the tongue in the middle of the mouth and glue in place. Use the scissors to trim off the excess paper.
Finally, glue the completed mouth below the eyes.
