Tissue Paper Apples

February 27, 2013momstownRecessNo comments
Fall is not only the perfect time to pick apples and cook with apples, it is a great time to create some apple crafts with the kids!

 

Tissue Paper Apples:

 

Materials:

cardboard apple cutouts

tissue paper squares (red, green, yellow)

glue & scissors

 

Directions:

This is a  simple apple project, perfect for a group of random aged kids. momstown had kids between age 2 and 10 creating a variety of apples all together.

1.  Trace and cut out apple shapes on old cardboard from cereal boxes or old cardboard boxes.

2.  Dab glue or cover the apple in glue, then add your tissue paper (each age will attempt to try this in many different ways).  Some children scrunched up the tissues paper to make a definitive apple. Younger one slapped down the tissue paper flat to make a messier but fun version. Others used the end of a pencil to create a fuller, more 3D apple. Open to all creativity.
