Apple Prints

We all know that there are apple crafts that are designed for children of all ages, but what many of us forget to think about is that just because your apple craft is designed for young kids or teenagers that doesn’t mean that the entire family has to miss out on having fun with apple crafts.

Materials needed:

•Apples
•Paper towels
•Styrofoam plate, meat tray, or other shallow dish
•Paint

Directions:

•First thing that you are going to need to do is to cut the apple in half. When cutting your apples in half you are going to want to try and experiment with them, meaning cut them in different ways. This will give you different kind of prints that you can use.

•Some things that you can try doing is to cut through the top and out the bottom to make a traditional cut. Cut through the middle of the apple to make apple star prints. You can also try cutting the apple into quarters to make even more prints.

•Next you are going to want to fold the paper towel into fourths and lay it on the bottom of your shallow dish, which ever kind you choose to use.

•Now pour paint into the center of the paper towel so that you are turning the paper towel into a kind of stamp pad. You can use any color that you want but red, green and yellow are normally used.

•Next take your apple pieces and dip them into the paint making sure that you are dipping the cut side of the apple into the paint.

•Dab the apple around the excess parts of the paper towel to wipe off the excess paint.
Now you need to press the apple pieces onto the piece of construction paper to make your apple prints.
