Apple Stamped Crab Kids Craft
Not only are the DIY stamps in this craft {aka an apple} super easy for everyone to pick up at their local grocery store BUT overall, the supply list for this craft is fairly inexpensive too!
So if you are looking for a fun summer themed activity for the kids and are planning on picking up some apples anyways – you are well on your way to pulling this idea together within minutes! Just be sure to set one apple aside, clear off the kitchen table for a good work space and get your craft on!!! Happy crafting my friends!!!
Supplies for Apple Stamped Crab Kids Craft:
- Apple
- Knife
- Paper Plate
- Red/Blue Paint
- Paint Brush
- Cardstock
- Tan Tissue Paper
- Scissors
- Glue Stick
- Marker
Directions:
First have your child paint a water scene on the bottom of their cardstock. While they are working on that, take your tan tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
Now take your glue stick and the tan tissue paper & glue a line along the “ocean water” to create the “beach.” You can make it as wide or as narrow as you like.
Now you are ready to make your crab! Squirt some red paint on a small paper plate. Take your apple and cut it half with your knife. Now take one apple half and cut it again, in half.
Take the large apple half and rub it in the red paint, until it’s completely covered. Press it down on the center of your “beach” scene. Now grab your smaller apple half, dip it in red paint and press it down on the cardstock twice, for the crab’s claws.
To finish the Apple Stamped Crab – take a small paint brush and draw some lines to connect the claws to the body, as well as some lines for the legs & eyes. Then grab your marker and draw some circle eyeballs so he can see. Once done, let it all dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
