Coloring the apple is easiest before cutting out the pieces. Your child or student may want to write a note on their apple, too, so it can be given as a teacher appreciation gift.

Once the pieces are colored and you're ready to assemble the apple, glue the stem and leaf in place and you're done! This is a very easy cut and paste craft. It's ideal for preschoolers & pre-k students who are developing their cut and paste skills.
