Apple Craft for Toddlers

By M Willis, PM Salem, NJ October 3, 2011

This craft is great to do with your toddlers or other little ones!  My 2 year old was able to help me paint the apples to make the butterfly, and of course make her own version of the butterflies as well!  They didn’t look much like butterflies…but she had a great time!

 

Directions: Cut one apple in half.  You can either ‘paint’ the inside/cut side of the apple with colors of your choice, or simply pour out the paint on a paper plate and place the cut side of the apple directly in the paint.  Either way, make sure the paint is covering the whole side of the apple so that you can make a nice clear butterfly ‘stamp’.  Add antennas or anything else that you’d like, to make your butterfly take flight!
