Download the apple template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Line up 11 popsicle sticks together. Take 3 additional popsicle sticks and stretch 2 glue dots along each of them. Glue each of these popsicle sticks to the group of 11, one on top, in the middle, and on the bottom.

Paint the popsicle sticks in 1-2 thin coats of red or green paint, then let it dry completely.

Glue the stem to the top and middle part of the popsicle sticks.

Next, glue the leaves on either side of the stem.

Place the eyes in the middle of the apple and glue them in place.

Use a black marker to draw a mouth below the eyes and eyebrows above the eyes.
