Apple Stamp Garland Craft

Apple Stamp Garland Craft - Tea Time Monkeys

Try a crafty fruit activity with your kids by making this cute apple stamp garland! If it’s autumn where you are, it’s also a fun way to use up some of those windfall apples that are lying around!

This is a nice extension activity for apple themed units, or if you’re teaching about autumn/ fall or fruit. It does get very messy, but it’s a lot of fun for kids and they really get a kick out of using food to paint!

We have other fun Autumn-Fall and Fruits related crafts and resources that you might also like to try. See the end of the post for more!

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make 3 red apple prints. Make sure that kids reapply paint after each stamp, or the prints won’t come out so well.

5. Take the other half of the apple and apply green paint. Repeat step 3 to make 3 green apple prints.

6. Allow the apple prints to dry (or use a hairdryer to speed things up), then cut out each apple.

7. Stick googly eyes to each apple, or use small, round white stickers and draw in the pupils. Add a smiley mouth.

8. Cut small strips of brown card for the stalks and stick one to each apple. Cut some leaf shapes from green card and add to some or all the apples.

9. Cut a length of yarn approximately 50cm. Using sticky tape, attach each apple to the yarn in a line. I made this a vertical hanging garland, but you could make it horizontal hanging if you prefer.

Some tips:

  • Pre-cut the yarn, apple stalks and leaves beforehand.Use a hairdryer to speed up drying time.
