I love it!
JDaniel4's Mom says
How cool is this! I love the way you tied the painting to creating the apples. You will use them again and again.
Brimful Curiosities says
Your apple prints turned out great. Adding the stem really helps. Love how the picture of the apples on the floor on top of a head. 🙂
Jeanette says
Looks fun! My kids love, love, love it when I laminate something they have drawn or painted. They would love this just for that reason alone! 🙂
Prairie Cate says
Loving apple week! We shall make applesauce and apple prints after school today. But Stacie, I am not buying a laminator. I have signed up for swagbucks and amazon Mom at your recommendation (ambivalent so far), done your crafts (always awesome), and answered your polls, but I cannot become one who laminates things. I draw the line there. : )
Stacie says
Catherine,
You gave me a good laugh this morning — I definitely cannot imagine you laminating!! It's the teacher in me, I think! It just makes things last longer, that's all!
Raising a Happy Child says
Great idea – math, literature and art all in one. Great picture too.
Michelle says
What a great idea…your daughter looks adorable in that picture with those apples up on top :0)
Thank you for linking up to stART!!

I am fortunate enough to have access to a laminating machine, however, I have also used packing tape or clear contact paper with great results. Love the idea. I get so many ideas from your site!

Very cute idea! We’re running a Story Time in the park this summer, and “Ten on Top” is on the list!
Stacie says
Have fun! Sounds like a neat idea to have story time in the park!
Candice says
What kind of paint do you recomend for this project? We tried tempera paints and acrylic paints this morning and they didn’t leave a good print. Did I just not use enough paint on the apple, or would a different type be better? Thanks for the wonderful lesson plans, we’re having so much fun exploring God’s word together!
Stacie Nelson says
Hi, Candice!
Great question! We used some liquid tempera paint that I had. We did put the paint on very thick and dried the apple with a paper towel right before we dipped it in the paint–that seemed to work well.
