Materials Needed For Apple Tree Craft
- 2 paper plates
- Green and brown paint
- paintbrushes
- stapler
- Red or green pom-poms
Instructions To Create Paper Plate Apple Tree
- Paint one of the paper plates green and allow it to dry completely.
- Take the second paper plate and cut it in the form of a tree trunk, then paint it brown.
- You could also paint the paper plate first, trace the tree trunk, and allow your child to practice fine motor skills by cutting out their tree trunk.
- Once both plates are completely dry, staple the green plate over the tree trunk. You could also glue on the trunk, but it takes a while to dry, and my girls were not patient enough for that.
- Go ahead and glue your apples (pom-poms) on your tree. You can also make this a counting activity for your preschooler.
Tip: To resue your apple tree for a counting activity, add velcro on the green paper plate and the pom poms.
This way, your child could easily take them off and on. Making it a great math and fine motor skills activity.
My youngest loved making this tree and counting the pom-poms.
This makes a fun but easy activity craft to create at home or in your classroom.
You can make it during spring lessons or even fall activities!
