Apple Printing

Decorate a muslin or canvas bag with apple prints. These bags are perfect for going on that  hike and collecting your fall items. This is really fun project that the kids love doing.You can make pictures on construction paper as well. 


Cut some apples in half. Do some vertically and others horizontally. This way the kids can see the hidden star. Pour some red or green tempera paint into a paper plate. ( buy your tempera paint at a independent craft store in your neighborhood) Dip the sponge into the paint and dab the apple. Gently press the apple onto the fabric bags or paper.


 Kayleigh and Jonathan are having lots of fun
making their Fall Collection bags  
(can't find bags to buy? You can order them on my website) 


Make sure to cover your work area with paper or plastic. This can be a messy activity. Which  I am sure that is why Jonathan and Kayleigh enjoyed it so much. When they were finished painting the bags, they decided to paint the apples and themselves. Good thing that they wash up well!
