Suggested Family Activity 🍎 Apple Craft

Published by Library Staff on

Turn a plain white paper plate into an apple today by coloring it red and attaching a brown paper stem and a green leaf.  Cut out small black oblong shapes for the seeds.  For a variation that’s great for toddlers, tear up pictures of red paper into small pieces and then let them glue the pieces back onto the paper plate (or a blank sheet of paper).  In addition to helping them learn how to master glue, this activity will also help improve their hand-eye coordination.  Another way to improve manual dexterity in young children is to cut the shape of an apple out of cardboard or cardstock weight paper and give your child red, yellow, or green yarn to wrap around it to make an apple.
