Craft Stick Apple Cores

What you need:

• Popsicle sticks
• Construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Thin black marker

Directions:

1. Glue 3 or 4 popsicle sticks horizontally onto a red or green cardstock paper
2. While the glue dries, cut out two semi-circles from the other end of the paper
3. On the flat end, cut a jagged shape that looks like bite marks
4. Cut out the glued popsicle sticks, hugging the sticks closely so the paper backing isn't visible
5. Glue one semicircle to each end of the popsicle sticks
6. Make 3 small raindrop shapes in the center of the "core" with the black marker. These are the seeds.
7. Cut a small stick from the brown cardstock paper to be the apple stem
