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

Apples growing on a big tree are so appealing, aren’t they?

This time, we’re introducing a fun craft: making apples—the delicious fruit that’s red, round, and sweet.

Apples are a famous fruit everyone knows!

They’re also easy to visualize when making crafts.

It might be a good idea to ask the children what image they have of apples before starting the activity.

You’ll probably get some fun answers.

We’re showcasing various apple crafts, so please find your favorites that suit the children’s ages.

Color Poly Fruit

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.

Easy! How to fold an apple

[Preschool Craft] Easy Origami Apple: How to Make It♪
Easy! How to fold an apple

Let’s make a winter treat—an apple—using two sheets of origami paper.

You’ll need a standard 15 cm red sheet for the fruit and a small orange sheet for the stem.

First, we’ll make the fruit.

Place the red paper with the white side facing up, fold it in half top to bottom, and crease well.

Fold the bottom edge up to the crease.

Fold the top left and right corners in toward the center.

Rotate the paper 180 degrees, then fold three corners inward into triangles.

Next, fold the two new side corners inward the same way.

Cut a small slit at the center of the top edge, open the cut outward and crease—this completes the fruit.

For the stem, fold the orange paper into a rectangle, then roll it tightly from a corner to make a thin strip.

Attach it into the slit you made, and your origami apple is finished.

In conclusion

We introduced an apple craft that kids love.

Apples are sweet, crisp, and so delicious, aren’t they? In the apple craft, thinking about shapes and colors while creating helps nurture imagination.

Plus, making things together lets children enjoy the process with friends and supports their growth.

Once the pieces are finished, it’s also fun to expand the play with activities like pretend fruit picking or running a make-believe greengrocer.

Give it a try!
