Since our week started off with a Apple theme for Muffin Tin Monday I decided to keep it going with some crafts this week.

Here are 2 simple crafts that we made.

Stuffed Apple

1. Gather supplies – brown lunch sack, green construction paper, old newspaper, red paint, scissors, glue & paint brush.

2. Paint the sack red. As you can see Aubrey decided it would be mush better to paint with her hands.3. Crumple several sheets of newspaper and stuff in bag.4. Tie top of bag to form the stem. Glue the leaves on and set aside to dry.You could paint the front, back & sides of the bag to make it all red, but my little one wasn’t interested in that. Make a couple and use as “fall” decorations.

Apple Book

1. Gather supplies – Construction Paper, old magazines, stickers, scissors & glue2. Trace and Cut construction paper in the shape of an apple. Staple 1 side to form a book. I ended up printing a sign for the front that said “Aubrey’s Apple Book” but forgot to take a picture, oops.3. Find pictures of things that start with the letter “A” *My little one needed lots of assistance with this part but she enjoyed looking through the magazines and got excited when we would find something.”

4. Glue the pictures in the book and let dry before closing5. Read the book and review what you found. This was Aubrey’s favorite part, she wanted to read her book to everyone who would listen! Thankfully Grandma & Grandpa came over for dinner and she got to read it to them umpteen billion times.

Overall super easy crafts with big results and enthusiasm. I had a few more planned, but we will see what we can squeeze in the rest of this week.
