Stuffed Apples!

Last week, we read a book about apples and made some of our own apples to go along with it! To make your own stuffed apple, you will need to make two large identical apples. I used grocery bags, but you could use whatever paper you have. Then you staple the apples together all around the edges, leaving a hole in the top for the "stuffing." You'll also want to cut out a stem and set it aside. Next, your child can use a glue stick to glue tissue paper squares all over both sides of the apple. Finally, your child can help you stuff the apple with paper scraps. We just ripped up the rest of the paper bags and crumpled up the pieces. When you staple the top shut, you can attach the stem. We punched holes in our stems and used red yarn to hang them up. The apples look so cute, and they were very easy. My two year old friend really enjoyed this craft!
