Sew an Apple Fall Craft

October 23, 2013 by Mommy Evolution 18 Comments

One of my favorite things about fall are all of the apples! We go apple picking and bring home bags and bags of delicious, crunchy apples. They never last long because we just devour them.

Here’s a fun apple craft where you get to “sew” an apple together.  This craft is awesome for practicing fine motor skills — which will help with handwriting down the line. This post contains affiliate links.

Fall Apple Craft with Fine Motor Skills Practice

Sew an Apple Fall Craft

What You’ll Need:

  • Red construction paper
  • Green construction paper
  • Yarn
  • Stuffing
  • Scissors
  • Hole Puncher

Materials

 Directions for Apple Fall Craft:

  1. Placing two pieces of red construction paper together, cut out the shape of your apple
  2. Using the green construction paper, cut out the shape of a leaf and punch in one hole at the stem
  3. Keep the apple shapes together and punch holes around the apple
  4. Using your yarn, “sew” the two pieces together
  5. Match up the leaf hole to the apple and sew it into the project
  6. Stuff the apple before sewing it closed

    My kids would really enjoy this. My 5 year old has slightly delayed fine motor skills, so it would be great for him especially!

    Hahah, kids are so funny! This is really cute…I’m not sure my son’s skilled enough yet to make this craft, but he does like to thread things, so maybe…

    We used to go apple picking when my kids were little. This would be a great craft to share with my grandkids. They don’t get to pick apples, but this would be a fun fall activity.
