As a kid, making apple print art and apple print crafts was one of my favorite things to do. Using something you picked off a tree as a paint stamp is just fall fun!

Today we have an apple print craft that is great for kids of all ages. We are showing it on plain cork coasters, but you could use it on paper or card stock as well.

Apple Stamp Craft for Kids

Making Apple Print Coasters is a fun craft to do with kids after visiting an apple farm.

Kids will enjoy seeing the “star” on the inside of the apple, then stamping it onto a cork coaster to use as an ornament, gift, or coaster for home.

This craft requires basic supplies and can be done at home, school, or daycare. One of the steps needs to be completed by an adult.

Supplies Needed

Cork coasters -they make these specifically for crafting and are surprisingly inexpensive
Red acrylic paint
Paint brush
1 small apple
Knife
(Optional) String, twine or ribbon
(Optional) Scissors

Directions

Step 1

After gathering supplies, an adult should use the knife to cut the apple in half.

Cutting the apple through the center will reveal the star inside.

Step 2

Paint 1 half of the apple red.

Step 3

Invite kids to press the apple onto a cork coaster.

Step 4

Pull the apple up firmly to reveal the print.

Step 5

Repeat with the rest of the coasters.

Step 6

When the coasters are dry, stack them together and tie with a piece of twine or ribbon. Now kids have a cute gift to share with teachers, neighbors, or friends!

Craft Variation to Create a Hanging Apple Ornament

Alternatively, glue a loop of ribbon or twine to the back of the coaster to create an ornament, perfect for your holiday tree.
