Festive Fall Apple Print Painting for Kids

We went to the apple orchard again yesterday to pick some more apples.  I plan to make applesauce tomorrow so we stocked up!  This morning before Boo Boo went to school I decided to do a quick activity with her.  Buddy decided he would wait and do it after Boo Boo got on the bus.  Since we have such an abundance of apples I decided we would do some festive fall apple print painting!

Materials Needed

• White construction paper
• Paint (I gave the option of yellow, green or red)
• An apple cut in half for printing
• Paint plates
• Paint smocks/old t-shirt to cover clothes

Instructions

• Draw an apple shape on the paper
• Put the desired color of paint on the paint plate
• Put on the paint smock
• Start painting

This was a super easy yet fun apple project for the kids to do in a short amount of time.  Boo Boo decided she didn’t like apple prints so she used her apple as a paint brush to fill in her apple.  Buddy did apple prints and enjoyed it.  Afterwards the kids had free painting time with their remaining paint.
