Preschool Apple Craft Directions

Step by Step directions:

1. Print out apple template from patternuniverse.com.
2. Cut out template.
3. To make the apple with the paint inside, lightly tape the outline of the apple onto a sheet of paper.
4. To make the apple with the paint on the boarders, lightly tape the cutout apple onto a sheet of paper.  
5. Let your child dot up the whole paper, including the stencil.
6. Once dry, carefully remove the stencil and take a look at the colorful apple.
7. Write any message you’d like on the picture. Some of my favorites include; “You’re the apple of my eye”, “Happy fall y’all”, and “Back to School”.

Ways to Incorporate Speech and Language Goals in Craft

1. Have your child request for different color dot markers. You can also have him request to “open” each marker.
2. Provide your child with directions to follow when completing the craft, such as “Make 5 red dots”.
3. Practice sequencing. See if your child can recall the steps it took to create the craft. (Ex. “First, you cut out the apple. Then, you tape the apple to the paper…”)
4. Use descriptive words to talk about the apples. (Ex. red, green, yellow, hard, juicy).
