APPLE STAMPING CRAFT
Stamping is a fun art activity that even toddlers and preschoolers can do! For younger kids, alternating stamping paper and paint or ink pad can be challenging. Remembering to position the apple stamp correctly, press it into the paint, and then onto the paper can be quite a task. It’s productive but fun work!
