How to make autumn apple tree stamping art
What you need:
- printable template
- handmade sticks
- paintbrush
- apple
- knife
- cutting board
- Washable paint
- paper plate or tray
Step-by-step instructions
If teaching young children, you can make small handles for apples by gluing craft sticks to them. This will make it easier for little hands to hold the apple.
We will use three different colors – orange, red and green.
Pour a small amount of paint onto a tray or paper plate.
Dip the apple in the paint.
Use our printable tree template or draw the shape of your tree trunk on cardboard.
Have your child start gluing the paint-dipped apples onto the paper.
We started with green paint, but kids can use any color.
Add paint if necessary. If the apple is not completely covered, you can also use a brush to apply paint to it.
We continued with the orange apple print.
Continue stamping.
Please stamp more.
Then we added some red apple motifs for a colorful fall feel.
Your child can continue adding prints until they are satisfied with their work.
Congratulations on completing your beautiful fall apple tree stamping art!
Works perfect for both home and classroom use.
