For our toddlers, anything involving their fine motor skills is still difficult. Usually, children this age enjoy painting and pasting most. So, that’s exactly what we gave them! A pasting and painting activity that  really easy to do! My 2-year old students really had fun doing it!

What you need:

• Small paper plates
• Red paint
• Glue
• Red Japanese Paper
• Brown Construction Paper
• Green Art Paper

Step 1: Cut the paper plates into apple shapes.

Step 2: Cut small circles using the Japanese Paper. (You may also use a different kind of paper)

Step 3: Cut the brown paper into stalks and the green paper into leaves

Step 4: Mix the paint with the glue. Make sure not to put too much glue. 1/4 glue, 3/4 paint.

Step 5: Paint the paper plate “apple”

Step 6: Stick the small circles (As long as the paint is still wet, it will stick because to the glue mixture)

Step 7: Glue on the stalk and leaf on top.

Step 8: Have fun hanging them on your door or posting them on your wall!
