FALL APPLE CRAFT WITH YARN ART

APPLE YARN CRAFTS

Fall marks a special time of year when the scent of cinnamon and spices creates a warm fuzzy feeling and thoughts turn to arts and crafts with mugs of cider and crunchy apples!

I’m excited to share more arts and crafts projects this season that all pair with an interesting style of art! This apple craft is all about creating textile art. Although there’s a finished project to enjoy and display, this apple craft is still all about developing kids’ creativity and skills.

Also, make yarn pumpkins or yarn leaves…

Plus, it’s pretty easy to make with younger kiddos as well as older kiddos and it’s not that messy! Make multi-color apples or pick your favorite type of apple. Around here, that means Honey Crisps!

WHAT IS TEXTILE ART?

Textile art is the process of creating something using fibers gained from sources like plants, animals, or synthetic materials. This textile art project is great for fine motor development and can be used to work on developmental goals, functional skills, and dexterity. Plus, it’s fun and the result is an amazing fall theme decoration.

HOW TO MAKE YARN APPLES

STEP 1: Print and cut out the apple template or draw your own. Then trace the template onto cardboard and cut it out.

TIP: If you are doing this activity with multiple kiddos or a larger group, you might want to cut everything out ahead of time! This is particularly helpful if you are low on time or don’t have enough scissors for everyone.

STEP 2: Color the stem and leaf of the cardboard apple with markers. Alternatively, you can also use green and brown yarn to wrap the stem and leaf if desired!
