There’s a Worm in My Apple
An Activity for School-Age:
This fun craft is a great “hide-and-seek” activity and would go well with Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar book.
Before You Begin:
Consider cutting the plates out beforehand. Set out paintbrushes, pour paint into craft cups, and assemble other supplies before beginning.
Activity Goals:
Develop fine motor skills
Practice artistic expression
Let's Get Started
STEP 1
Cut an apple shape out of a paper plate.
STEP 2
Paint the apple shape red. Cut out a leaf and stem from construction paper and glue each onto the apple shape.
STEP 3
Once the apple shape is dry, cut a 1” slit in the middle of the apple.
STEP 4
Paint a green ring around another paper plate. Once dry, cut out an apple core shape.
STEP 5
Using one of the leftover edges from the apple core shape, cut out the green section to make a worm.
STEP 6
Affix a wiggly eye to one end of the worm and insert the other end in the slit in the middle of the apple. Affix with tape if necessary.
