Printable Apple Template
I absolutely love doing fall activities with my kids each year and apple crafts always seem to be the ones that start the season off.
The simple, recognisable shape of apples means that they’re great for crafts and activities with younger kids but there’s always ways that you can adapt them to use with kids of all ages.
We’ve tried out loads of apple activities over the years and lots of them would be perfect for making with this template.
Of course we’ve also got a few ideas for different ways you could decorate it too so take a look and see what ideas would appeal to your and your child the most.
Our free templates are a great way for you to get creative with your child without spending ages setting up (especially if you’re not always super confident with your drawing) or they’re really helpful for kids of all ages in classrooms so you’re not having to draw the same image 30 times.
Apple Craft Ideas
Coloring
This is always something that I suggest for our printables because the simple designs make them perfect to use as a coloring page.
Just grab markers, coloring pencils and crayons and use these to decorate it.
Apple Suncatchers
We made apple suncatchers previously by drawing the apples freehand but using the apple outline from this template would make that a lot easier.
Our suncatchers make a great decoration for windows with their vibrant colors.
These were made by my daughter who was a preschooler at the time they were a fun craft to help her with her fine motor skills and using scissors too.
Apple Stamping
Make a simple apple painting craft using this printable and making some stamps.
Scrunched Tissue Paper
Cover your apple template with glue (PVA or Elmers glue style works best) then tear red and green tissue paper into pieces and scrunch them up into balls before gluing them onto your apple as we’ve done with our apple craft for toddlers.
As you’ll be using a lot of glue for this craft I would recommend printing your apple template onto cardstock rather than normal printer paper.
Writing Activity
School age children could use this as a writing activity. Try writing some words to describe the apple on it or maybe eat some apple slices and write down what they taste like.
Playdough Mat
Laminate your printable or pop it inside a plastic wallet and color it in with red and green playdough.
Torn Paper
Cover your craft template in glue and then stick torn colored paper on it. Both colored printer paper or construction paper are great for this and you use one color or a mix of red and green.
More Apple Crafts for Kids
These paper plate apples are super easy to make and I love the way that the different colors can blend together, just like on the real things.
Our cut and paste apple craft is free to download and is a great way for kids to learn about the different parts of an apple while practicing using scissors and coloring.
It’s two sided so you can flip it oven and see both the outsides and insides of an apple.
This pom pom apple tree was decorated by my preschooler which might explain the amount of windfall apples!
It’s a great way to use up any pom poms and a fun way to support fine motor skills too.
