Paper Plate Apple Craft
Are you ready to create a delightful and super adorable paper plate apple craft that will bring a burst of color and charm to your life?
With autumn on its way, that means apple cider, apple picking, and my personal favorite, apple crisp. I am from the land of delicious apples, and I couldn't be more excited about fall this year.
I love creating paper plate crafts, and my kids love doing them as well, so we were excited to put these little apple cuties together. We ended up with a red apple, a green apple, and even a blue apple.
Try this apple handprint craft next. It’s simple enough for preschoolers and makes a sweet beginning-of-the-year keepsake.

How to Make the Paper Plate Apple Craft
Step 1: Draw and cut the apple shape
Take a paper plate and draw an apple shape on it using a pencil. Once you’re satisfied with the shape, carefully cut along the traced lines.
Step 2: Paste the apple shape
Next, grab a red-colored paper and paste your paper plate apple shape onto it. Cut around the edges of the apple, following the outline.
Step 3: Create the face pieces
Using the card stock, draw and cut out two medium circles for the eyes, two small circles for the pupils, and a mouth shape. Let your creativity shine!
Step 4: Assemble the eyes
Paste the small circles onto the medium circles to create a pair of eyes for your apple craft.
Step 5: Attach the eyes and mouth
Carefully attach the eyes onto the apple shape, positioning them to your liking. This will give your apple craft a delightful expression.
Beneath the eyes, paste the mouth shape to complete the adorable facial features of your apple.
Step 6: Add the tongue, leaf and stem
Using the pink-colored paper, cut a small curved shape to fit within the mouth of your apple. Glue it in place to create a playful tongue.
Cut out a leaf shape from the green-colored paper. Additionally, create a triangular shape from the paper plate, which will serve as the stem.
Using a glue gun, stick the leaf at the back of the triangular shape to create a realistic stem and leaf combination. Apply glue to the back of the leaf and stem, then securely attach them to the top of your apple shape. This will complete your craft with a touch of nature.
All done!
