Need some inspiration? Here are some ways that you can use these apple templates:
Kitchen Tool Painting. Grab some kitchen utensils such as a spatula, potato masher, forks and some washable paint and paint the apples red, green and yellow. The kitchen tools are a fun and unique way of painting and will immediately intrigue your kids. They’ll make interesting patterns and designs on our apples.
Salt Painting. For this one you will print out the apples on thicker paper or cut them out and glue them to thicker paper such watercolour paper or construction paper. Outline the apples with glue and then sprinkle the glue with salt. Using food coloring mixed with water a small amount of water or liquid watercolor paints then lightly touch a brush to the salt to paint it.
Salad Spinner Art. Print out the apples and cut them out. Glue them to card stock or a paper plate. Cut them out in a circle that is similar in size to your salad spinner. Place the apple inside the salad spinner and add paint drops on the apples. Put the lid on the spinner and spin! Repeat with more colors.
Sponge Painting. Use sponges to paint the apples. Cut the sponge into small squares and dip them into washable kids paint and paint the apples.
