Since apple trees are always loaded to the brim right when Fall time starts, it’s the perfect time of the year to learn about apples and get your apple craft on. We have already made a few Apple Tree Crafts this year and now we are on to more apple fun. We mixed up some of our favorite puffy paint and made this simple Apple Craft for Kids.

Supplies needed:
- red, green and brown craft foam sheet
- shaving cream
- school glue
- red food coloring
- glue
- paint brush
- googly eyes (optional)
Tutorial:
1. Cut out apple shape
Start by cutting an apple shape out of your red craft foam sheet.
2. Make puffy paint
Make your puffy paint. Measure equal portions of shaving cream and school glue in a bowl. Add 10-15 drops of food coloring (or more until it reaches your desired color) and mix the ingredients together.
3. Paint your apple
Use your paint brush to paint your apple with the puffy paint. Set it aside to dry completely. It may take up to 24 hours, dependent on how thick you add the paint.
4. Make & glue stem and leaf
When your puffy paint is dry, cut a stem and leaf out of your brown and green foam sheet and glue them onto the apple.
5. Add googly eyes
You can leave the apple craft as is or if you are crazy about googly eyes like me, you can add glue on a couple to give your apple a cute personality.
