How to Make the Quick Apple Art
What you need:
- printable template (optional)
- pencil
- scissors
- glue
- construction paper (white, green, brown, and red)
- sponge dabber
- paint (green and yellow)
- black marker
Step by Step Tutorial
Prepare a sheet of paper.
Have your little ones dab paint on the paper using a sponge dabber. They can use other supplies to make the prints as well (fingerprints for example).
They can also paint the background with any other technique they want.
Continue by covering the whole sheet.
Switch to another paint and add more dabs over the green layer.
Let it dry!
Print or draw an apple shape with a separate stem and leaf, then cut out the parts.
Place and trace the apple, stem, and leaf onto red, brown, and green construction paper with a pencil.
Cut out the apple parts. You can outline them with a black marker as well if you want.
Cut the red apple horizontally into several strips.
Glue the stem and leaf onto the green background, then attach the apple strips in order, leaving small gaps between each part.
Finish gluing the apple strips until the last one is in place.
Your quick apple art is complete!
All done!
Why not make another with other colors?
So much fun!
