Today we did a fun kids’ apple craft: apple printing. This is such a classic fall art project.
If you’ve never tried it, now is the time!
All you need is a piece of fruit and a little (or a lot) of paint. We had a great time and it was nice project for some free art exploration.
I will let the photos speak for themselves:
I like to reuse take out containers as art trays. I can then rinse them off and either save them for another project or toss them in the recycling.
My son had a lot of fun using the apples as a scrub brush! This is the result! That’s okay, it’s all about having fun, not coming up with a specific result.
Since Kiddo always works longer if I sits down with him, I enjoyed a bit of printing myself. I found it quite relaxing, actually. I’m going to use this gorgeous (ha ha) creation as wrapping papers. I quite like the multicolored effect.
Have you and your kids ever tried this apple printing craft?
In a little while it will be time for our mini pumpkin printing art project. We do that every fall, too!

I like the way the apple stamps came out. They are really pretty. Good Job

It looks like you had fun too…funny, when I stamp with E mine are always in lines, too. does that mean we’re uptight??? 🙂

More inventive? Heck, I give myself major props for doing things like apple printing. Of course, I have not yet done apple printing with my girls, because I have no poster paint in my house.

I love printmaking of all kinds…the apple prints are lovely!

I was so relieved to read that I don’t have the only child who likes to have “company” while painting. I usually try to encourage her to do it on her own, but next time I’ll have to give it a go myself. Love the “scrub brush” effect, BTW!
