Toddler Craft: Apple Tree


Big sister can't have all the fun, can she???

Drew was pretty excited when he saw the Apple Tree Craft Anna and I did, so I decided he should make his own little apple tree while she was off at preschool one morning.  

This craft is simple and fun, but can be kind of messy if your little one is like mine.  Drew definitely doesn't mind getting messy.

Supplies needed:
Paper plate
Sponge
Cork
Brown construction paper
Red and green paint


Start by taping down a paper plate.  Then hand your child a sponge with some green paint and invite them over to paint the plate.


Watch out....it gets messy fast with little fingers!!


(You can let the paint dry if you'd like, but we just skipped that step!!)
Then put a cork in some red paint and show your toddler how to stamp the plate with the cork to make an "apple".




Cut out a trunk from your brown construction paper and tape it to the bottom of your "apple tree".

Hang and admire!!
