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

Making decorative apples

[Ring Garland Craft Idea] Apples made with ring garlands (September wall decorations, senior recreation, occupational therapy, day service, childcare, origami, easy, 3D, DIY, apple crafts)

The familiar paper chains you see at birthday parties.

You link together strips of origami or construction paper into rings, right? This idea uses those paper chains to make apples.

If you’re looking for a wall decoration that’s a bit different from the usual, this could be perfect.

Make the paper chain, then shape it into a ring and add a stem and leaf to create an apple.

When you put them on the wall, try making a tree out of brown construction paper and sticking the apples onto it.

The key is to crumple the construction paper a bit to give it texture!

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.”

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!

Color Poly Fruit

Colorful Poly Fruit: handmade toy for children, craft, plastic (poly) bags

Here’s an idea for making apples using colored plastic bags.

Cut newspaper into a suitable size and crumple it into a ball.

Wrap it with tissue, then wrap it again with a red colored plastic bag.

Use a brown chenille stem (pipe cleaner) as the stem, insert it, and secure everything with tape.

Keep taping so the shape becomes round and the corners disappear.

It’s simple, but that completes your apple! If you make a few of them and hook the pipe cleaners onto a string, they could also become a garland.
