Medium Apple Template

 

The medium sheet of apples comes with 4 apples. This is a great size for crafting with a group of kids. It is big enough to add decorations to but not too big where you will need to print up too many sheets of paper. Print up these apples and cut out the apple shapes. A few ways to use them include tissue paper, color them in, paint the apples, and add googly eyes.

Simple Apple Crafts and Activities

 

Apple Art Stamps

 

This fun and easy painting activity is so fun for kids. It is great for young kids who have a harder time with small paint brushes. I would use the large or medium apple templates. Paint directly on the printed out sheet. Just cut real apples in half. Dip the apple in paint and stamp the apple on the apple templates. It is double apple fun apples on apples! Then keep on stamping until the apple is filled in. Add some googly eyes and a mouth once the paint is dry. I’m always a fan of googly eyes. This craft works on fine motor skills.

 

Apple Sun Catcher

 

For this craft you will need to print out the apple template. The medium size is great for sun catchers. Cut out the center of the apple leaving the outline. Make the outline bigger if you want by coloring black marker extending the outline. Add Clear tape to the back of the outline. take small pieces of tissue paper and stick them on the tape. Then cover the top with tape facing down covering the entire template with strips of tape. Some people use contact paper for sun catchers and that is another option.

 

Apple Tissue Paper Craft 

 

Use the large template and kids can add glue to the top of the template. Just squeeze it on or use a paint brush. Then add small pieces of red or green tissue paper on top of the glue. You can make apples with different colors of tissue paper or just red apples. I let my kids choose how they want to make them. This is a great activity with young children.

 

Apple Tree Craft 

 

Draw an apple tree and add small paper apples to the tree with glue. Use the small apple template for this craft. I also have a tree without leaves template just paint or draw green leaves on then add the apples on top. This can also be used as a counting activity for math. Use pom poms on the apples to count and have kids pick them up with tongs for extra fine motor skill fun.
