At least, mine do.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homanathome.com\/2019\/09\/paper-tube-dinosaur-puppets\/\">Dinosaurs<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homanathome.com\/2017\/03\/easter-finger-puppets\/\">bunnies<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homanathome.com\/2023\/01\/penguin-finger-puppet-craft\/\">penguins<\/a>, or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/homanathome.com\/2019\/11\/turkey-finger-puppets\/\">turkeys<\/a>, they love them all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what&#8217;s not to love? Puppets are easy to make and are a&nbsp;great way&nbsp;to allow kids to let their imaginations take the stage. Given that it&#8217;s&nbsp;apple season, this week we&#8217;re featuring an&nbsp;adorable apple craft. This cute&nbsp;free apple template&nbsp;allows kids to build a puppet that&#8217;s perfect for this&nbsp;time of year. With interchangeable eyes, mouths, and accessories, the kids can personalize their apple.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a&nbsp;great addition&nbsp;to your&nbsp;apple theme&nbsp;unit for your&nbsp;preschool craft. It&#8217;s also great as a&nbsp;fall craft&nbsp;for both preschool and lower elementary aged kids! I love that it&#8217;s low prep &#8212; just print the&nbsp;printable template, lay out some colored pencils or crayons, scissors, and glue, and let the kids go to town. At the end, you can tape a popsicle stick on, and voila! You have a&nbsp;simple apple craft!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you want this craft:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>encourages imaginative play<\/li><li>low prep<\/li><li>builds&nbsp;fine motor skills<\/li><li>fun for kids!<\/li><li>perfect for fall or alphabet preschool units<\/li><li>&nbsp;cute and easy!<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Wide-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Wide-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C798&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What you need to make apple puppets\" class=\"wp-image-25015\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Template.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Easy Apple Craft Template&nbsp;(click here for free printable)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I would recommend printing your&nbsp;printable apple templates&nbsp;on card stock for a more sturdy final product. This can also be printed on plain computer paper. If you&#8217;d like to do this craft on&nbsp;construction paper, you can print the apple template on regular&nbsp;white paper, then cut and trace onto the&nbsp;construction paper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u200bColors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crayons, colored pencils, markers, and more! Let the kids color their apples and accessories before they cut and glue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u200bScissors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the benefits of this activity is how well it builds scissor skills. The eyes and mouths have simple lines and curves to encourage kids to practice cutting on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glue Sticks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use Elmer&#8217;s glue here. I like glue sticks, especially with&nbsp;younger kids, because it allows them to be more independent without creating a giant mess for me to clean up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popsicle Sticks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I used jumbo sized sticks to give&nbsp;little hands&nbsp;something to hold onto to. You can also use regular sized popsicle sticks or even straws to create the puppet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Instructions.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"932\" height=\"1112\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Instructions.png?resize=932%2C1112&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How to make a printable apple craft\" class=\"wp-image-25026\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 | Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by gathering your supplies. You need a printed version of the apple template, colors, scissors, glue sticks, and popsicle sticks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u200bStep 2 | Color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let the kids choose their own&nbsp;vibrant colors&nbsp;to make their&nbsp;adorable apple craft. They can color the&nbsp;apple shape&nbsp;and choose some features and accessories to color. Let them go to town!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 | Cut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Very small children may need help, but Kindergarteners and above should be able to cut out these simple shapes. Have the kids cut out their apples, then their features and accessories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 | Glue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the glue sticks to glue the features and accessories to the&nbsp;apple shape. Create apples with their own personalities by mixing and matching! Finish by glueing the popsicle stick to the back of the&nbsp;apple shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5 | Play!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the glue is completely dried, the kids can put on their own puppet show!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Wide-3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Wide-3.jpg?resize=1200%2C798&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Free Printable Apple Craft: Apple Puppets\" class=\"wp-image-25017\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other&nbsp;Apple Craft Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few&nbsp;different ways&nbsp;you can use the printable apple template aside from making puppets:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paint Your Apples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of coloring the apples, let the kids use paint to create some&nbsp;apple art! Red and&nbsp;green paint&nbsp;is perfect for traditional apples, but you can let your kid&#8217;s imagination run wild!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use a variety of paint techniques, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.happinessishomemade.net\/bubble-painting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bubble painting<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/artfulparent.com\/diy-marbled-paper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shaving cream marbling<\/a>, painting with&nbsp;cotton balls, watercolors, or just finger paint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tissue Paper Apple Craft<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use&nbsp;little squares&nbsp;of red or&nbsp;green tissue paper&nbsp;to fill in the&nbsp;apple outlines. Then, you can glue the features over the top of the tissue paper to create some more adorable&nbsp;apple projects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple Sun Catcher Craft<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the&nbsp;tissue paper apple craft&nbsp;idea, you can make sun catchers using contact paper, the&nbsp;printable template, and tissues paper squares. Just trace the&nbsp;apple shape&nbsp;onto contact paper using a Sharpie. Then, peel off the backing and stick the pieces of tissue paper to the contact paper, filling in the apple outline. Cover with another sheet of contact paper, then cut out the apple along the Sharpie lines. Punch a hole in the top and add a string so your sun catcher can hang from the window!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Wide-4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Apple-Puppets-Wide-4.jpg?resize=1200%2C798&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cute Apple Puppets Craft\" class=\"wp-image-25018\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Games to Play with Your Apple Puppets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing with an apple puppet can be a delightful and imaginative activity for children.
