Apple Pumpkins


Halloween is getting nearer so here's another craft for you! This one turns an apple into a pumpkin!

*DISCLAIMER - YOU CANNOT EAT THE APPLE WHEN ITS PAINTED!



Apple painted to look like a pumpkin

You will need

  • An apple (79p for a bag @ Aldi)
  • A bowl or plate for the paint (I normally use a paper plate)
  • Orange paint (£1.00 for 300ml @ The Works)
  • Green paint (£1.00 for 300ml @ The Works)
  • Black paint (£1.00 for 300ml @ The Works)
  • Paintbrush
  • A jar or pot of water to rinse the paintbrush

Equipment listed

Important!!! If your little ones are messy painters remember to protect your table/work surface/carpet/clothes/cat etc!!

First, put some of the orange paint on to the plate and using the paintbrush paint the apple. Leave to dry.

Once the orange has dried put some of the green and black paint onto the plate. Use these to paint on the stork and faces.

When the paints are all dry you've done!! Why not paint a few and let the kids come up with different facial expressions.
