Fall is coming! This simple craft combines the sweetness of a handprint with the fun of apple printing for your child.
Materials needed:
- Apple
- Paint colors of your choice
- Plate
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
- Piece of white and brown paper
Step one: Trace your child's arm and hand on the brown paper to create your trunk and branches.
Step two: Cut out the tree and glue onto your white paper.
Step three: Cut the apple in half (great time to talk about the parts of an apple!).
Step four: Use the apple to create prints around the branches.
Step five: If using more than one color, let the first color dry before adding a second one.
Step six: Hang in a special place to admire and decorate your home for fall!
