Draw two half circles on one piece of red paper and a half circle on one piece of green paper (so you have four half circles total). Instead of drawing a straight line at the bottom of the half circles, draw a wavy line that looks like a bit apple.
1 piece red colored paper, 1 piece green colored paper
Once you're satisfied with the half circles, cut the half circles out so you have two red half circles and two green half circles.
Use the hot glue, hot glue four popsicle sticks together. Put a couple drops along the side of each popsicle stick. Allow them to dry completely (this will be quick) before moving onto the next step.
4 popsicle sticks
Use the white glue to glue one red half circle to the top of the popsicle sticks and one half circle to the bottom of the popsicle sticks. Repeat with the green apples.
To make the leaves, cut two very small leaf shaped pieces from the green paper and set aside.
Using the piece of cardboard, cut a very small stem like piece from it for each apple. Then glue the leaves and stem to the top of the apples.
1 piece cardboard
On the popsicle sticks add three black little ovals using the black marker for seeds. Let the marker dry and your apple craft is complete!
Notes
A great way to get creative is by adding any extra decoration to the apples you’d like. A little worm out of the center would be a fun way to add to the craft.Create an apple tree on a board or doorway for students to display their apples. If working with kindergarten students or younger try making dotted lines for the kids to connect when they are creating their apples. Easy ways to enhance this craft could include mounting your colored paper on white paper and then leaving a small edge when cutting it out to resemble the apple flesh. After it’s been cut out, add it to the cardboard to make it sturdier.
