A big hit with kids in childcare too! A roundup of apple crafts

Easy apple craft using tissue paper

[Kindergarten/Preschool] September: Under the Big Apple Tree!? Painting & Craft

Let’s create a painting featuring an apple tree with a three-dimensional feel.

Attach an apple tree made from colored construction paper, apple characters, and clouds onto a backing sheet.

Slice a toilet paper roll into rings and glue them onto the apple tree.

Apply glue inside each ring and stick in crumpled red tissue paper.

For the apple characters, you can draw faces with a pen or stick on photos of the children—they’ll look adorable.

If children who can’t use scissors are working on this, make sure an adult pre-cuts all the necessary parts in advance.

Apple craft using foot prints

Are melamine sponges handy for baby handprints and footprints?! A collection of ideas to keep as mementos 👣 #Shorts

Let’s make apples using children’s small footprints! First, stamp their footprints with white ink onto red construction paper.

Be sure to place the heels together.

After the ink dries, cut the paper into the shape of an apple.

Paste it onto a white backing sheet, then draw the stem and leaf with a pen.

It would also be cute to add stickers to the backing sheet or draw butterflies and caterpillars.

If you’re using it as a wall decoration, draw a big tree and stick the apples onto it.

Parents will likely enjoy hunting for their child’s footprint, and when it’s time to take them home, you could even prepare bags and let them “go apple picking.”

An apple bag made from paper cups

Paper cup, apple bag

Here’s how to make an apple-themed bag.

Prepare red construction paper, a paper cup, glue, green construction paper for the leaf, and any string you like for the handle.

For a paper cup that is 8 cm tall with a 5 cm bottom diameter, cut the red construction paper to 15 cm (height) by 21 cm (width) and fold it into eight equal sections.

Fold down 1.5 cm from the top; do not cut this folded strip.

Instead, cut along the previously made fold lines below it.

Wrap the paper around the cup, apply glue to the uncut 1.5 cm strip, and fold it over the rim of the cup to stick it in place.

Apply glue to the bottom and attach the cut sections of paper diagonally across the base.

Attach the string handle and the leaf, and you’re done!

Stained glass of an apple

[Childcare] The translucent look is cute! Apple stained glass [Autumn craft]

Here’s a craft idea that captures the charm of translucent stained glass.

You’ll use colored construction paper, cellophane, and laminating sheets.

Stack two pieces of construction paper and cut them into an apple silhouette, then cut out the inside.

Stick the apple illustration onto a laminating sheet, and cut the cellophane into thin strips—now you’re ready.

If parents or teachers prepare up to this step, the activity will go smoothly.

Cut the thin cellophane strips one by one.

Attach the cut cellophane inside the apple illustration on the laminating sheet, then finish by laminating to complete the piece.

3D Apple Wall Decor [Ages 4+]

[Craft Idea] Apples (October, autumn) (wall decorations) (activities for seniors, occupational therapy OT, day services, early childhood/educational) (origami DIY) (3D) (with templates)

Perfect for wall decorations! Let’s make a three-dimensional apple with origami.

First, stack several sheets of origami paper and fold them in half.

Draw half of an apple along the fold and cut it out with scissors.

Separate the pieces, then keep each one folded in half and layer and glue them together.

Attach a stem and leaf made from different origami paper, and stick everything onto a wall backing to finish! You can use the same color for all the apple pieces, but adding just one patterned sheet makes a cute accent.

Easy candy apples made with tissue paper

[Perfect for a summer festival playtime!] Easy candy apples with tissue paper 🍎🍭 #preschoolcrafts #preschoolteacher #earlychildhoodideas #teacherintraining #teacherlife #tissuepaper #summerfestivalcraft

Let’s make a candy apple, a festival stall favorite, using tissue paper! First, crumple white tissue paper into a ball, then wrap it smoothly with red tissue paper and secure it with clear tape.

Insert a wooden skewer into the taped part and fasten it firmly with a rubber band so it won’t come off.

That completes the apple part.

Finally, cut two circles from transparent red origami paper and stick them onto the apple you just made to finish it off! If you change the color of the wrapping tissue paper, you can make colorful candy apples, too! Be careful when using the wooden skewer.

Apple mobile

Paper mobile decorations of apples and pears made from paper (with audio commentary)

Would you like to try making a three-dimensional apple and pear mobile? Fold a sheet of colored construction paper in half and create two types of templates: one for the outer peel and one slightly smaller for the inner fruit.

Make three pieces of each.

Glue them together so they form a 3D shape, and you’ll have a plump, cute apple and pear! Adding a spiral peel—like when you peel an apple in one long strip—makes a charming accent.

When you hang them as a mobile, you can suspend them from a branch with yarn or use clear thread—either way looks adorable.

Give it a try!
