Apple Prints

You can use apples to make decorative and colourful prints. Here's how:

Materials:
• apples
• knife
• tempera paint
• Styrofoam tray (to use as palette)
• paper towels
• paper

Instructions:
Cut apples into shapes for stamping (this should be done by instructor) - make sure they each have a flat and level bottom. Experiment with different shapes: try apples, stars, flowers, hearts and other designs. Pour paint into trays - if possible, use different colours. Dip flat end of stamp into paint; then wipe off excess paint onto paper towel. Stamp onto paper. To avoid having to wash stamps, use each stamp in only one colour of paint. Let paper dry. Paper can be made into cards and gift wrap.
