Apple print pumpkins
It’s the season for apple printing: around the blog world this week I’ve seen some lovely apple trees and apple wreaths. We decided to get started our our Halloween decorations and turn our apple prints into pumpkins.
The apple halves can be a little tricky to grasp hold off, so we used a fork as a handle. We cut out our pumpkin eyes and faces from black sugar paper and stuck them on while the paint was wet – no glue needed.
Once they are dry you can cut out your pumpkins, glue on a lollypop stick and you have some cute Halloween bookmarks. We’re also going to use the rest of ours to update our number line.

Thanks Maggy! You know how nerve wracking it is, bringing in the new. Think I’m getting used to it now.
Super cute idea! We have TONS of apples we picked great idea to make pumpkins.
Thanks V.Kerr, pleased you like them
So fun. The fork is a great idea. Imagine that will make it much easier for the little hands.
Hi Abbie, the fork works perfectly and makes this much easier on littile hands – so they can enjoy the activity and not get frustrated with a slippery apple.
How adorable!
Thanks Maryanne.
We also did apple printing for Halloween at the weekend! I love your prints, they’re fab:)

Thanks Home Baked.
I love the pumpkin sticks. There are so many ways you can learn with them.
Brilliant! And so sweet. Thanks so very much for joining us on Craft Schooling Sunday, great to “meet” you, your site looks wonderful, and hope to see you again soon!
These are so cute! We are all so tired today, this looks like a fun stay at home activity. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
This is brilliant! I wish we made such a huge fuss of Halloween over here in the UK. Although we do in our house;-)
