apple stamping – a fun fall activity and art project, using apples and real leaves

‘Tis the season for picking juicy, ripe apples off the tree, and I’m seeing a lot of apple crafts happening out there these days, so we decided to do some apple stamping this morning.  It’s a good, old fashioned activity that’s easy to prep, and simple enough for even the youngest hooligans to do.

The supply list is short:

• apples
• red paint
• leaves from the garden
• glue

The children dipped their cut apples in the paint and then stamped them along a long piece of white cardboard.

To add interest to our apples, we gathered real leaves from the garden, and the hooligans glued those to the tops of the apples.
