Fall is upon us and since tomorrow is National Apple Day and October is National Apple Month . . . it is a great time to gather the children you love, the necessary supplies and have fun making these little apples!
Supplies -- Styrofoam balls or newspaper
- strips of fabric
- unrolled paper ribbon or sticks
- burlap
- glue sticks/glue gun
Directions -
- Select your styrofoam balls or wad newspaper into balls the size you want for your apples.
- Cut strips of fabric so they reach from the top of your ball, down, around and back to meet at the top and glue in place, slightly overlapping each strip until your apple is covered.
- Cut burlap into a leaf and glue at the top.
- Glue a length of unrolled paper ribbon or a stick at the top for a stem.
- Enjoy!
This is a simple and fun project for your grandchildren to make! Help them make a whole bushel of apples and then give some to neighbors or shut-ins you know, and their teachers to brighten their day! Have fun!
